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 9.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 193 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 240 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,825 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,825 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 681 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nantes Atlantique Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 03, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 80 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Bouguenais, France. The climb took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,059 feet above sea level to 36,601 feet, an increase of 35,542 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 148 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south-west of Montpon-Menesterol, France. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 242 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 12 miles south-east of El Besos i el Maresme, Spain, descending from 36,480 feet to 6,923 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Port de Pollenca, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time from 6,917 feet to 4,525 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north-east of Muro, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. Once again, this was followed by a descent, this time from 3,945 feet to 1,295 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 239.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which had a length of 2,587 meters. The touchdown point was 268 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 11 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,747 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 521 nautical miles, taking 98 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,565 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 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 landed on runway 24L, which has a length of 2,587 meters. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots, indicating that the pilot had properly managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown point was 268 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 11°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft was able to land safely.
The total landing distance of 1,747 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and had brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the high score achieved. However, there is always room for improvement, and the pilot may want to review the landing to identify areas for further refinement.
