MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 223 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. 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 2,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey on runway 33, accelerating down the 1,826-meter takeoff distance, which covered 57% of the runway. At a liftoff speed of 166 kt, the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt. The aircraft then proceeded to taxi to the runway, taking 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nm.
As the aircraft departed the airport, it initiated a climb from 1,042 ft asl, gradually increasing to 37,009 ft asl over a distance of 168 nm in 26 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a 100-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 750 nm, maintaining a steady altitude. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 36,514 ft asl to 1,792 ft asl over a distance of 118 nm in 22 minutes. The final approach to runway 18 at Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was initiated from the north, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway.
The Airbus A321 touched down on runway 18 at a speed of 128 kt, with a touchdown rate of -176 fpm, indicating a good touchdown. The touchdown point was 49 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance covered 69% of the 2,000-meter runway, and the taxiing to the parking took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,044 nm, taking 157 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,315 kg of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was executed from the north, heading 193.0° at 4 nm and 1,757 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The aircraft touched down 49 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -176 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 239°, resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,373 m, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 99.8%. The slight deviation in threshold speed and the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone were the only minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
