MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 54 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 54 ft, 8.5 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 451 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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 1,903 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 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 A321, then departed from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,040 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 339 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of Kispest, Budapest, Hungary. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,456 feet above sea level to 35,898 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,442 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south east of Becej, Serbia. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 469 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles east of AG13 Amphibious Ready Group, Greece. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,165 feet above sea level to 1,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,448 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south east of Mykonos, Greece. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at Mykonos Island National Airport, approaching from the south at a heading of 341.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 180 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 34, which had a length of 1,903 meters. The threshold height at 71 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -460 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 356 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The total landing distance was 1,007 meters, which is 53% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 696 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 127 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,052 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Mykonos Island National Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.5%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 341.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, at -460 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly abrupt touchdown. The touchdown point was located 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance.
The threshold height at 71 feet agl was above the target height, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 356°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly hard touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,007 meters was 53% of the available runway length of 1,903 meters. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to align the aircraft with the runway centerline or a slight deviation during the landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off, by 8.4 meters. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a steady course or a slight deviation during the rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
