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 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 18 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 18 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 18 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 2,091 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,091 m of the 4,247 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 860 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 09 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) in Mumbai, India. The takeoff distance was 2,261 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 35°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 170°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north-east of Mumbai, rising from an altitude of 1,095 feet above sea level to 36,247 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,152 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 11 miles south of Kurduvadi, lasting 7 minutes and covering 57 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 5 miles north-east of Maindargi, where the aircraft descended from 35,921 feet above sea level to 3,266 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,655 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09R at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (VOHS) was made from the west, heading 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09R was successful, with the touchdown point being 449 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 146 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -193 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 110°.
The total landing distance was 2,015 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 341 nautical miles, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,023 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at VOHS Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.2%. The final approach to runway 09R was initiated from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 09R, which has a length of 4,247 meters. However, the threshold height at 66 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been traveling slightly faster than necessary.
The touchdown point was located 449 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing some drag or other factors that contributed to the higher-than-desired speed. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was good at -193 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown.
In terms of alignment, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 2,015 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is worth noting that the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and in a controlled manner. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path after touchdown.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A321 aircraft was able to safely and successfully land at VOHS Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.2%.
