MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Stop increasing back pressure once the sink is arrested near 4.5 ft, holding pitch instead of continuing to rotate.
What happened: You kept adding back pressure through the flare, raising the nose 3° and carrying pitch well above this type's normal touchdown attitude - tail strike territory.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal ground attitude at touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 5,271 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,271 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,861 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Orlando International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 35L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 96 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and reaching an altitude of 25,900 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 67 nautical miles and took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 45 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, before beginning another climb phase 7 miles northwest of Bunnell, Florida.
This second climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 25,965 feet to 37,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,043 feet, in just 9 minutes and covering 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 1 hour and 15 minutes and covering 663 nautical miles, before beginning its descent phase. The descent started 8 miles southeast of Slyder Field in Pennsylvania and took 14 minutes to complete, covering 107 nautical miles and descending from 37,228 feet to 7,013 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting just 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent phase. This descent started 2 miles southeast of Port Byron, New York, and took 5 minutes to complete, covering 18 nautical miles and descending from 6,431 feet to 1,727 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 10 at Syracuse Hancock International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,310 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 1,478 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 123 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 4,988 feet, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 937 nautical miles, and the flight took 2 hours and 22 minutes to complete, using 12,045 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 8,984 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,478 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 123 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -118 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and navigation skills.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance was 4,988 feet, accounting for 56% of the runway length.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
