MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.1 ft, and this flight then touched down at 201 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 356 m touchdown sits inside 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 Memmingen Allgau Airport, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,650 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 861 meters above sea level (asl) to 2,126 meters asl, an increase of 1,265 meters in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This climb phase started overhead Memmingerberg in Bavaria, Germany. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, 1 mile south of Legau in Bavaria.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 2,132 meters asl to 3,309 meters asl, an increase of 1,177.5 meters in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile south of Lauben in Bavaria. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, overhead Unterthingau in Bavaria.
The aircraft continued its climb, this time from 3,353 meters asl to 3,961 meters asl, an increase of 608.5 meters in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. This climb phase started 2 miles south of Bidingen in Bavaria. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 11 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles, overhead Schongau in Bavaria.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 3,807 meters asl to 1,221 meters asl, a decrease of 2,585.7 meters in 10 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles. This descent phase started overhead Schechen in Bavaria. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, 1 mile northeast of Moosdorf in Austria.
The aircraft continued its descent, this time from 1,238 meters asl to 815 meters asl, a decrease of 422.9 meters in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. This descent phase started overhead Buermoos in Austria. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at Salzburg Airport, heading 157.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 381.2 meters above ground level.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 15 at Salzburg Airport, with a runway length of 2,312 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was 356 meters, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.7 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,054 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 145 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,525 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LOWS Salzburg Airport, achieving a high score of 95.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 157.0° at an altitude of 381.2 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -1.7 meters per second. However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being misaligned by 7.7 meters. This minor issue did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,054 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, being off by 8.3 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C. This pleasant weather likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's performance during this landing was impressive, with the aircraft demonstrating its capabilities and the pilot's skill in executing a safe and efficient landing.
