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 25 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 24 ft instead of holding it level.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 24 ft and held there instead of being let down.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,582 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,582 m of the 3,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,220 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 2,559 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 34,562 feet, an increase of 32,002 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-west of Forni di Sotto, Italy, and lasted for 37 minutes, covering a distance of 267 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 34,985 feet to 15,008 feet, a decrease of 19,977 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent and level cruise phases, with multiple changes in altitude and location. It descended from 14,710 feet to 2,364 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles, and then climbed from 1,461 feet to 10,544 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 118.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,366 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 90 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -283 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,502 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 604 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 121 minutes. The aircraft used 6,241 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 118.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,366 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 11, which has a length of 3,142 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 90 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target speed, which may have contributed to the deviation. The touchdown rate of -283 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a relatively smooth descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 7 knots. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 80°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing performance.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.0%. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended touchdown point and speed, which may be addressed in future training exercises.
