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 3.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 27 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 27 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 27 ft to 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 1,768 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,768 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 654 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 90 degrees. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 146 knots, clearing the runway threshold at 2,160 meters, which was 70% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Brussels, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Kortenberg in Flanders, Belgium. The climb was a steep one, with the aircraft ascending from 1,154 feet above sea level to 35,012 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude of 35,012 feet for 16 minutes, covering a further 234 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached the Danish border, it began its enroute descent phase, which started 5 miles west of Nordborg. The descent was a gradual one, with the aircraft losing 33,552 feet in altitude in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
As the aircraft entered the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 04L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 41.0 degrees. The local weather conditions were once again favorable, with a temperature of 4 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 knots at 270 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, with a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute, which was well within the acceptable range. The total landing distance was 1,684 meters, which was 56% of the runway's length. After a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 453 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,063 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 63 minutes.
The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport from the south west was executed with a heading of 41.0° at 4 nm and 1,250 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 63 ft above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 140 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were also good, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt and a touchdown rate of -186 fpm, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 234 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the long touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 4 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,684 m, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 m from the centreline, which is a minor deviation. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%. The minor deviations in touchdown point and rollout alignment did not significantly impact the overall performance, resulting in a good landing.
