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
Smooth out your control inputs through touchdown and rollout, easing the controls rather than snapping them to avoid sharp g spikes.
What happened: Average g force through the landing came out at 1.1 g, well above the smooth, steady loading expected through touchdown and rollout.
Watch for: G-force meter: hold it within the normal smooth range through touchdown and rollout.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 6,632 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,632 ft of the 10,510 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,553 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 25R, taking off with a distance of 5,172 feet, which was 50% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots, overcoming a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots. The local temperature was a scorching 98 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind direction of 232 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a distance of 67 nautical miles in 21 minutes, reaching a height of 25,978 feet above sea level. The climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed. Notably, the aircraft descended from 25,477 feet to 23,463 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The descent phase was characterized by a series of gentle descents and level cruises, with the aircraft eventually descending to 8,262 feet above sea level. The final approach to runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,552 feet.
The landing was deemed successful, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a touchdown rate of 72 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 6,329 feet, which was 60% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 231 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 88 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,862 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 137 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 1,552 ft was well within the expected range, indicating a controlled descent and a stable approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of 72 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 90 °F and a light wind of 5 kt at 59 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it decelerated to a stop. The total landing distance of 6,329 ft was 60% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.9% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
