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 9.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 6.2 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 6.2 ft, but 279 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
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 1,771 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,771 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 812 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 26R, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 2,201 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 7 knots from 350 degrees, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 3,104 feet above sea level to 33,492 feet, an increase of 30,388 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 25 miles west of Grand Canyon Village, Arizona, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering 229 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several climb and cruise phases, with notable increases in altitude and decreases in time, before beginning its descent from 35,635 feet to 2,341 feet in 21 minutes, covering 122 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08L at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) was initiated from the west, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A321 landed on runway 08L at KATL, with a total landing distance of 1,693 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway. The touchdown point was 398 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,625 nautical miles, taking 219 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,623 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a threshold speed of 141 kt, meeting the target. The touchdown point was located 398 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -200 fpm was only fair, suggesting a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent.
The approach quality was generally good, with a steady and controlled descent from 1,313 feet above ground level (agl) to 61 feet agl at the threshold. However, the threshold height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than ideal approach path angle. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and winds of 9 kt at 230 °, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was slightly misaligned from the centreline, with a deviation of 10.3 meters. The total landing distance of 1,693 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the aircraft's touchdown and rollout characteristics were generally good, and the pilot's skills and judgment were demonstrated to be effective in the given conditions.
