MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 220 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 220 fpm next time
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,540 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,540 m of the 2,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 427 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08L, the aircraft used 2,700 m of runway, representing 66 % of the available length, and lifted off at 148 kt. Local weather at the time was Temperature 21 °C, Wind 2 kt at 50 °, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 2 mi west of Eitting, with the aircraft ascending from 2,511 ft asl to 31,831 ft asl, a gain of 29,320 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 93 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mi north of Ergersheim and lasted 13 minutes, during which 94 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mi north-east of Fronhausen, dropping from 31,437 ft asl to 14,054 ft asl, a loss of 17,383 ft in 12 minutes over 65 nm.
A short cruise segment was flown 1 mi north of Bad Sassendorf for 2 minutes, covering 7 nm.
The next descent began 1 mi east of Werl, descending from 14,009 ft asl to 11,008 ft asl, a reduction of 3,001 ft in 3 minutes across 15 nm.
Cruising overhead Schwerte lasted 6 minutes and spanned 29 nm.
Descent over Oberhausen reduced altitude from 11,009 ft asl to 9,031 ft asl, a loss of 1,978 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
A further cruise segment 3 mi south-west of Duisburg lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nm.
Descent 1 mi south of Krefeld brought the aircraft from 9,009 ft asl to 7,008 ft asl, a decrease of 2,001 ft in 3 minutes over 15 nm.
Cruising 1 mi west of Wegberg continued for 3 minutes, encompassing 12 nm.
The final descent began 1 mi south-west of Erkelenz, dropping from 7,008 ft asl to 1,443 ft asl, a loss of 5,565 ft in 6 minutes while covering 18 nm.
On final approach to runway 05L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, the aircraft approached from the south-west on a heading of 53.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,306 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05L, which is 2,401 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 138 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 429 m from the threshold, at a speed of 128 kt and a vertical rate of minus 158 fpm; the touchdown point was 4.3 m left of the centreline. Total landing distance was 1,460 m, representing 61 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, traveling 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 374 nm, lasted 86 minutes, and consumed 3,361 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05L at EDDL Düsseldorf was flown from the south-west on a heading of 53.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,306 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits; ambient temperature was 18 °C with wind 5 kt from 060 °, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft established a good threshold speed of 138 kt and rolled out a touchdown distance of 429 m. Touchdown speed was 128 kt and the vertical rate was -158 fpm, both recorded as good, on a runway 2,401 m long with a good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred slightly off centreline, measured at 4.3 m to the right of the centreline, while maintaining the previously noted speed and rate. All other touchdown parameters remained within the good limits described.
Rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance measured 1,460 m, representing 61 % of the available runway. The runway rollout remained centred and controlled throughout the deceleration.
To tighten the remaining centreline offset, focus on precise lateral positioning during the flare to keep the touchdown point within a tighter envelope of the runway centreline, while preserving the excellent speed and rate control already demonstrated.
