MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 364 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH), with a takeoff distance of 931 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Newbridge, a city in Scotland, and the aircraft ascended from 1,117 feet above sea level to 34,790 feet, an increase of 33,673 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Drumoak, a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 195 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 107 miles southwest of Knappskog, a town in Vestland, Norway, and descended from 34,526 feet to 3,070 feet, a decrease of 31,455 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles southwest of Frekhaug, a town in Vestland, Norway, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile north of Askoy, a town in Vestland, Norway, and descended from 2,621 feet to 1,466 feet, a decrease of 1,155 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at Bergen Airport, Flesland, was made from the north, heading 171.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 131 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 364 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -339 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 27 knots at 149 degrees, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 26 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,271 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 397 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,838 kilograms.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 131 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 364 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than desired, coming in at 124 knots. This may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate, which was measured at -339 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 3.5 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 27 knots from 149°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 26 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,271 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and the pilots maintaining good control throughout the landing and rollout phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
