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 18 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 209 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 209 fpm next time
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 24, using 1,641 m (70 % of the runway) before lifting off at 157 kt. Local conditions were temperature 18 °C, wind 7 kt from 170°, giving a 7 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead Newbridge, with the airplane ascending from 1,175 ft asl to 32,542 ft asl - an increase of 31,367 ft - in 15 minutes while covering 80 nm.
The first cruise segment started 3 miles south-west of Cargenbridge and continued for 18 minutes, during which 99 nm were flown.
Descent commenced over Birkenhead, with altitude decreasing from 32,612 ft asl to 3,622 ft asl - a loss of 28,989 ft - in 27 minutes and a distance of 125 nm.
A second cruise phase began over Pensford, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nm.
The next descent started 1 mile south of Keynsham, dropping from 2,832 ft asl to 1,879 ft asl - a reduction of 952 ft - in 2 minutes over 4 nm.
Final approach to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport reduced altitude from 1,323 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 104 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27 was executed with a runway length of 1,882 m; the threshold speed was 137 kt. Touchdown occurred 88 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 250 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported temperature 15 °C, wind 7 kt from 170°, a 7 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance measured 1,312 m (70 % of the runway) and the rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered 327 nm, took 71 minutes, and consumed 2,828 kg of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a good threshold speed of 122 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 452 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a high degree of skill and control.
The total landing distance of 1,798 meters was 78% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown and had brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high degree of skill and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve a smoother touchdown.
