MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 30 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 30 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 30 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 3,097 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03 at the César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, with the aircraft taking off after covering 59% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,419 meters, and the liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots at 329 degrees. The crosswind was 16 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,036 feet above sea level to 11,007 feet above sea level in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. This phase started 11 miles southeast of Arrecife, Canary Islands, Spain. The aircraft continued to climb and descend multiple times, with each phase lasting for a few minutes and covering varying distances. These phases included enroute level cruises, climbs, and descents, with the aircraft passing over various locations such as the Fuerteventura Airport El Matorral and the Gran Canaria Airport.
The final approach to runway 21R at the Gran Canaria Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 201.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,097 meters, and the threshold height was above the target at 67 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was good at 136 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -229 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,097 meters, which was 35% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 234 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 2,743 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 21R at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport, achieving a score of 91.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown point was 50 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The aircraft's descent rate was fair at -229 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate for a controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a moderate headwind of 7 knots. The crosswind component was relatively light at 6 knots, which made the landing conditions more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,097 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's weight and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft's score of 91.1% reflects the good performance during the landing, but also highlights areas for improvement to achieve a perfect score.
