MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.
What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.
Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle
See Arrival Final 4
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,027 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,325 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 04 at the Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP). The takeoff distance was 3,585 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it reached an altitude of 12,831 feet above sea level, increasing from an initial altitude of 1,603 feet. This climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead the airport in Greer, South Carolina.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. This cruise started 1 mile northeast of Five Forks, South Carolina. Following this, the aircraft began its descent, which started 2 miles southwest of Whitmire, South Carolina. The descent took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing in altitude from 12,979 feet to 8,064 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. This cruise started 1 mile south of Gayle Mill, South Carolina. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 3 miles southwest of Catawba, South Carolina. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing in altitude from 7,986 feet to 2,520 feet.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This cruise started 4 miles east of Lake Wylie, South Carolina. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36C at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), approaching from the south at a heading of 356.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,757 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 36C, which is 10,027 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,327 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 3,302 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 110 nautical miles, and the flight took 100 minutes. The aircraft used 5,327 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 36C, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 356.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,757 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown distance of 1,327 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, but not significantly so, and the touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,302 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's systems.
