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°, 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 266 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 371 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,606 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,606 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 635 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), with a takeoff distance of 1,863 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dublin Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,162 feet above sea level to 15,254 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,092 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Delvin, Ireland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 16,001 feet above sea level to 35,892 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,891 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles. This climb started 3 miles southeast of Multyfarnham, Ireland.
The enroute level cruise resumed 40 miles northwest of Belmullet, Ireland, and lasted for 69 minutes, covering a distance of 531 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 86 miles south of Vestmannaeyjar Airport in Iceland. The descent from 35,993 feet above sea level to 1,455 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,537 feet in 23 minutes, covered a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown point 214 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -35 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,520 meters, which was 50% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 836 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 5,236 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 01. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading directly towards the runway at an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 128 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 214 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown rate of -35 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft was not perfectly aligned with the runway during touchdown. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft's direction was not perfectly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. The aircraft's performance was evaluated based on a score of 88.2%, indicating a good overall performance but with some room for improvement.
In terms of the landing distance, the aircraft traveled a total distance of 1,520 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown, but could potentially have stopped earlier with a more precise alignment with the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor areas for improvement.
