MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 147 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 23 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 137 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 148 kt, 11 kt above the 137 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 137 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,919 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.29 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (EGGP), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 27, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,718-meter-long runway, which was utilized at 77% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots, clearing the ground with a smooth transition.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,004 feet above sea level to 36,173 feet, a vertical gain of 35,169 feet, in just 18 minutes. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 121 nautical miles, taking the aircraft 1 mile west of the airport before transitioning into a level cruise. The cruise phase, which lasted 38 minutes, saw the aircraft maintain a steady altitude, covering a distance of 302 nautical miles as it flew 1 mile east of Sunderland. The enroute descent phase began 55 miles west of Thyboron, Denmark, where the aircraft started its gradual descent from 35,993 feet to 1,300 feet, a decrease of 34,693 feet, in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Aalborg Airport (EKYT), it initiated its final approach to runway 26R, aligning itself with the runway from the east. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, at 149 knots, and a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown point was 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was hard at -480 feet per minute. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 558 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 88 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,420 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 26R at EKYT Aalborg Airport was conducted from the east, aligning with the heading of 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was significantly above the target, reaching 149 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown characteristics.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 146 knots, which was faster than desired. The touchdown rate was also hard, at -480 feet per minute, indicating a potential for a bumpy ride for passengers. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 5.7 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind of 25 knots at 280°, contributed to a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 24 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,300 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 12.5 meters. Overall, the landing performance scored 89.6%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional performance.
