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 10°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 312 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 24R at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA), taking off with a takeoff distance of 938 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of Palma, Spain. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 1,007 feet above sea level to 23,041 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 25 miles northwest of Banyalbufar, Spain, where the aircraft descended from 22,378 feet to 12,010 feet in 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 47 miles northwest of Port de Soller, Spain, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another descent 39 miles southeast of Sitges, Spain, where it dropped from 12,000 feet to 4,011 feet in 5 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 14 miles southeast of Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL), and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another descent, starting 8 miles southeast of el Besos i el Maresme, Spain, where the aircraft descended from 4,000 feet to 1,253 feet in 4 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL was from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 140 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 315 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 150 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -734 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.
The total landing distance was 923 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 136 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes, with the aircraft using 822 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 90.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 150 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high on final approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 154 knots was well above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the aircraft's speed more effectively during the approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.
The total landing distance of 923 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot demonstrated good skills in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, such as the touchdown speed and threshold height, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
