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 9.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft 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.
At the 1,000 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 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 aircraft departed from Yangon International Airport, taking 10 minutes to taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. It then departed runway 21 at VYYY Yangon International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,589 meters, which accounts for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 174 knots.
The flight then initiated its enroute climb, starting from an altitude of 1,152 feet above sea level over the VYYY Yangon International Airport, and reaching a maximum altitude of 38,600 feet above sea level. This represented an increase of 37,449 feet in altitude over a distance of 249 nautical miles within 22 minutes. The local weather conditions at this point indicated a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 9 knots at 159 degrees.
As the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, it began its descent 28 miles north of Palaw Airport. This phase of the flight lasted 47 minutes, with the aircraft cruising over a distance of 724 nautical miles. Upon reaching the designated point for the next phase of descent, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent phase. This descent started 8 miles southwest of Muar, Malaysia, and took the aircraft from a maximum altitude of 38,488 feet above sea level to an altitude of 1,323 feet above sea level. This decrease of 37,165 feet in altitude was achieved within a time span of 19 minutes and over a distance of 99 nautical miles.
After completing its descent, the aircraft then commenced its final approach phase, heading towards runway 02L at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport from the south. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 3 knots at 32 degrees. The aircraft had an optimal speed of 135 knots at the threshold, slightly above the target speed. As it touched down on the runway, the aircraft overshot the designated touchdown zone by 110 meters, and touched down at a speed of 128 knots. The aircraft landed with a relatively good touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute.
After landing, the aircraft began its taxiing phase, taking only 3 minutes to taxi to the parking area. The total flight distance covered was 1,081 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 2 hours and 39 minutes. The flight also consumed 324 kilograms of fuel during its duration.
Aircraft Landing Report: Airbus A320 at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport
The Airbus A320 made a successful landing on runway 02L at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport, scoring an impressive 99.1% in terms of its overall performance. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 23.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles (nm) and 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 110 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. While this exceeded the expected spot, it highlights the pilots' ability to maintain control and adjust their landing strategy accordingly. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the target, but this was compensated by a good touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute (fpm). This emphasizes the importance of precise control and adjustment in the seconds leading up to touchdown.
The landing site conditions were near-perfect, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a bearing of 32°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, but a 3-knot headwind that actually assisted the aircraft during its descent. The runway length, measuring 3,273 meters, is substantial, providing ample space for the aircraft to decelerate and come to rest.
One notable aspect of this landing was the total landing distance of 1,088 meters, which accounts for only 33% of the available runway. This indicates that the aircraft was able to rapidly decelerate and come to rest, minimizing the risk of any further issues or secondary runaways. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots had remained focused and in control throughout the landing process.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 02L at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport was an exemplary demonstration of safe and efficient aviation practices. The score of 99.1% underscores the skill and expertise of the pilots involved, and the near-perfect conditions on the ground only added to the success of this landing.
