MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 14 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 78 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Innsbruck Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft taking off and covering a distance of 1,214 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Innsbruck, and climbed from an altitude of 2,920 feet above sea level to 31,740 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,820 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Logatec, Slovenia, and lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 620 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Skourta, Greece, and descended from 32,304 feet above sea level to 1,585 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,719 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21L at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 217.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 21L, which was 3,403 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 146 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 78 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -956 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 20°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 680 meters, which was 20% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 798 nautical miles, taking 118 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,296 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 21L at the Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) with a score of 89.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown distance of 78 meters was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -956 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very heavy, suggesting a steeper-than-desired descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft maintained a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 680 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a successful and efficient landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, suggesting a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
