MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.5 ft, 4.8 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Florence Airport, Peretola, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 154 knots. The takeoff distance of 92 meters accounted for just 11% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient performance in the local conditions. The temperature was a pleasant 22°C, with a moderate headwind of 14 knots and a crosswind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Florence, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,989 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 32,778 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 1 mile north of Borgone Susa, Italy, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 34,001 feet to 2,702 feet, a decrease of 31,300 feet.
The final approach to Grenoble-Isère Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,430 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27, with a threshold speed of 117 knots and a touchdown distance of 335 meters. Although the touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly above the optimal value, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,178 meters accounted for 38% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 344 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 80 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,373 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at LFLS Grenoble-Isère Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was good, with a threshold speed of 117 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 335 m was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 116 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -409 fpm.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was not perfect, with a deviation of 6.7 m from the centreline. This slight misalignment was likely due to the crosswind component of 9 kt, which was blowing from the left. The headwind component of 3 kt was relatively minor and did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,178 m was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 9 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal standards, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and successful landing.
