MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 58 kt fast at 228 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 3 ft, 8.3 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 6.1° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,699 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 475 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.06 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 26L, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 340 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany. The climb phase was marked by a rapid ascent from 2,479 feet above sea level to 11,715 feet, an increase of 9,236 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 36 nautical miles, before initiating another climb phase 1 mile north of Polsingen. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 12,001 feet to 23,372 feet, an increase of 11,372 feet in 5 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 44 minutes and covering 341 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards London Heathrow Airport (EGLL).
As the aircraft descended from 23,980 feet to 1,966 feet, a decrease of 22,014 feet in 16 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles, it prepared for its final approach to runway 27L at EGLL. The landing was executed from the east, with a heading of 268.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,874 feet above ground level. Although the touchdown point was 177 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, 52% of the runway length. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 537 nautical miles, taking 87 minutes, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at 3 nm and 1,874 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 77 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 133 kt was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
The aircraft touched down 177 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -726 fpm, indicating a high rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the high touchdown rate. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a 5 kt wind at 340°, did not significantly impact the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,736 m was 52% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing performance scored 84.6%, reflecting a satisfactory but not outstanding execution of the approach and landing phases.
