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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 113 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport (EDDS), 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 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,751 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a gentle tailwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 2,119 feet above sea level, reaching a maximum altitude of 23,005 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed as it traversed the German landscape. Notably, the aircraft's enroute climb and level cruises were characterized by efficient fuel consumption, with the aircraft using 2,176 kilograms of fuel for the entire journey.
As the aircraft began its descent into Dresden Airport (EDDC), it started its final approach to runway 22 from the north-east, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 131 knots and a distance of 113 meters. The total landing distance was 821 meters, accounting for 32% of the runway. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 276 nautical miles in 54 minutes.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down on the runway at a distance of 113 meters, which was within the expected parameters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 131 knots, slightly above the ideal value. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -480 feet per minute, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal touchdown characteristics. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a light wind of 4 knots from 289°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 821 meters, accounting for 32% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown characteristics, the approach and rollout phases were executed smoothly, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
