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 9.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final to bring speed back to 140 kt before the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 159 kt, well above 140 kt, and the flare ballooned back up from 19 ft before the sink returned. Carrying that extra speed into the flare usually floats the aircraft and carries the touchdown long, as it did here.
Watch for: Airspeed against 140 kt on short final.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,676 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,676 m of the 1,901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 712 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 35L, taking off with a takeoff distance of 1,964 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots, with a local temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind of 13 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed over Pusignan, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and continued to ascend to 33,587 feet above sea level, a gain of 31,802 feet in 17 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase started over Corbigny, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, and lasted for 63 minutes, covering 477 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent over Ingleton, North Yorkshire, England, and continued to descend to 6,193 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,785 feet in 13 minutes. The final descent phase started over Kirkconnel, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, and the aircraft landed on runway 21 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
The landing was completed with a total landing distance of 1,596 meters, which accounted for 87% of the runway. The touchdown point was 297 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 147 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 713 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,760 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 21 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 203.0° at 4 nm and 1,420 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 58 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. The aircraft's speed at threshold was well above the target, reaching 159 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than expected touchdown height.
The touchdown point was located 297 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 147 kt was fast, and the touchdown rate of -386 fpm was firm. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a headwind of 19 kt, may have influenced the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,596 m was 87% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 m from the centreline. Despite this, the overall score for the landing was 80.1%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
