MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 1,380 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,997 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,997 m of the 3,030 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,380 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A380-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 08L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport in 7 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08L, the aircraft used 2,735 m of runway (65 % of the available length) and lifted off at 164 kt; ambient temperature was 26 °C with wind 4 kt from 029°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile north-east of Mitry-Mory, climbing from 1,321 ft asl to 32,438 ft asl, an increase of 31,117 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 150 nm.
Level cruise commenced overhead Dompaire and continued for 125 minutes, during which 1,077 nm were flown.
A second climb segment started 96 miles north-west of Zonguldak, raising the aircraft from 32,982 ft asl to 34,498 ft asl, a gain of 1,516 ft in 2 minutes over 13 nm.
The subsequent cruise leg began 85 miles north-west of Zonguldak and lasted 192 minutes, covering 1,751 nm.
A third climb was initiated 22 miles east of Hazrat Sultan International Airport, climbing from 35,000 ft asl to 36,998 ft asl, an increase of 1,998 ft in 3 minutes across 30 nm.
Cruise then continued 33 miles west of Karatau for 220 minutes, during which 1,902 nm were traversed.
The fourth climb started 6 miles south of Hohhot Air Base, raising the aircraft from 37,356 ft asl to 38,902 ft asl, a gain of 1,546 ft in 2 minutes over 13 nm.
A further cruise segment began 12 miles south-west of Hohhot and lasted 156 minutes, covering 1,446 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles north-west of Iwata, descending from 39,002 ft asl to 12,890 ft asl, a loss of 26,112 ft in 13 minutes while covering 103 nm.
A short cruise followed 7 miles south of Tateyama, lasting 7 minutes and spanning 32 nm.
The next descent began 4 miles east of Kamogawa, dropping from 12,649 ft asl to 1,303 ft asl, a decrease of 11,346 ft in 9 minutes over 33 nm.
Final approach to runway 34L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport reduced altitude from 1,325 ft agl to 58 ft agl in 108 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 34L (runway length 3,030 m) was achieved with a threshold speed of 137 kt; touchdown occurred 963 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt and a vertical rate of minus 280 fpm, the touchdown point being 14.0 m off the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 21 °C, wind 6 kt from 340°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,917 m (63 % of runway), and rollout alignment was 13.5 m off the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 6,560 nm, took 761, and consumed 166,311 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at TFFF Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 80.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 10, which has a length of 2,747 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -415 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance of 306 meters was considered good.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The total landing distance of 1,265 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft came to a stop in a relatively short distance. The slight deviations from the target speeds and rates did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
