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 8.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 387 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 454 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 2,104 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,104 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 732 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01L, and the takeoff distance was 1,528 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and there was a 3-knot tailwind. The enroute climb started overhead Gardermoen, with the aircraft ascending from 1,677 feet above sea level to 36,238 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,560 feet in 22 minutes and covering 132 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 32 miles north of Hirtshals, Denmark, and remained at this altitude for 40 minutes, covering 298 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles north of Termunten, Netherlands, and the aircraft descended from 36,299 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,994 feet in 22 minutes and covering 101 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,527 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 312 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -419 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 16 knots at 250 degrees, with a 15-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,020 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 13 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 543 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 4,479 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a score of 89.3%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 312 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -419 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 8.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,020 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline, by 7.8 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance of the Airbus A321 was satisfactory, with a score of 89.3%.
