MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 0 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 253 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 8.8° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,608 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,608 m of the 1,962 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 710 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (LGKR), 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 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 34, utilizing 71% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 1,640 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Corfu, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The enroute climb phase began overhead Corfu, where the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 4,861 feet, an increase of 3,818 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of enroute climbs and descents, including a descent from 4,810 feet to 1,803 feet, a decrease of 3,007 feet in 2 minutes, and a subsequent climb from 1,771 feet to 3,006 feet, an increase of 1,235 feet in 2 minutes.
As the aircraft approached the final destination, it entered a level cruise phase 2 miles north-east of Ksamil, Albania, lasting 10 minutes and covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16 at LGKR was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,774 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,534 meters, or 78% of the available runway length. The touchdown point was 301 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was within the target range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 102 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,444 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 16 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport from the north was initiated at 3 nm and 1,774 ft above ground level, heading 183.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 56 ft agl that was slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 152 kt was also slightly above the target, indicating a slight over-rotation of the aircraft.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 301 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 133 kt was good, but the touchdown rate of -402 fpm was hard, suggesting a high rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,534 m, which accounted for 78% of the runway length. The score for this landing was 83.8%, reflecting a good overall performance despite some minor issues with the approach and touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 301°, were not particularly challenging, and the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft was evident throughout the landing.
