MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 82 kt fast at 252 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed bleeds back to 138 kt by the threshold, rather than carrying it in.
What happened: This flight crossed the threshold 14 kt above the target speed, then began the flare 49 ft above the normal band. Carrying speed like this across the threshold usually keeps the flare high and ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 138 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 21 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,120 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo departed ESSV Visby Airport on runway 21, using a take-off distance of 1,271 m which represented 64 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 151 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced one mile south-east of Visby, with the aircraft ascending from 1,161 ft asl to 16,963 ft asl, a gain of 15,803 ft achieved in six minutes while covering 35 nm.
The first cruise segment began 20 nm east of Stanga and lasted six minutes, during which 45 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 38 nm west of Karosta, reducing altitude from 16,999 ft asl to 7,077 ft asl, a loss of 9,922 ft in five minutes over a distance of 28 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 26 nm west of Sventoji, lasting two minutes and spanning seven nautical miles.
The subsequent descent began 20 nm west of Sventoji, bringing the aircraft from 7,004 ft asl down to 633 ft asl, a decrease of 6,371 ft in eight minutes while covering 31 nm.
During final approach to runway 19 at EYPA Palanga International Airport, the aircraft descended from 585 ft agl to 95 ft agl in 87 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 19 was performed with a runway length of 2,126 m; the threshold height of 71 ft agl and threshold speed of 152 kt were noted as above target. Touchdown occurred 105 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 147 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of minus 658 fpm and a lateral deviation of 9.8 m from the centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,132 m, representing 53 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.7 m after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 152 nm, took 31 minutes and consumed 542 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 19 at EYPA Palanga International Airport was conducted with a descent from 585 ft agl to 95 ft agl over 87 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at a height of 71 ft agl, which was well above the target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 152 kt.
Touchdown occurred 105 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 147 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was heavy at minus 658 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,132 m, representing 53 % of the 2,126 m runway, and the rollout remained slightly off centreline by 8.7 m.
To improve the score, reduce the threshold height and speed to meet the prescribed targets and refine the lateral alignment to keep touchdown and rollout within a tighter centreline tolerance.
