MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 623 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 141 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 145 kt against a VREF of 141 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 141 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: gear still up and speed 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,138 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,138 m of the 2,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 616 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SBKP Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 15, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,665-meter-long runway, which represented 53% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, taking advantage of the favorable headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 3,136 feet above sea level to 8,996 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This initial climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 8,925 feet to 36,000 feet, an increase of 27,076 feet in 19 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 29 minutes and covering 205 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards its destination, SBCG Campo Grande Airport.
The descent phase was initiated 9 miles northwest of the airport, with the aircraft descending from 36,006 feet to 5,209 feet in 21 minutes and covering 134 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its final descent, descending from 5,000 feet to 4,071 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, lasting 15 minutes and covering 54 nautical miles, before beginning its final approach to runway 24 at SBCG Campo Grande Airport. The aircraft landed on the 2,606-meter-long runway, with a total landing distance of 2,059 meters, representing 79% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 568 nautical miles, taking 105 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,776 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 24 at SBCG Campo Grande Airport from the north east was initiated at 4 nm and 1,543 ft above ground level, heading 222.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The aircraft touched down 202 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -330 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 11.9 m from centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a 5 kt tailwind, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,059 m, which was 79% of the runway length. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 88.2%. While there were some deviations from the optimal landing parameters, the pilot maintained control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a safe and relatively smooth landing.
