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 6.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 6.3 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.3 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 305 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
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 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Zürich Airport, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 32, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 321 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 724 meters above sea level to 1,524 meters above sea level, an increase of 800.3 meters, over a distance of 6 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. The climb continued from Oberglatt, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland, to Niederweningen, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland, where the aircraft leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb from Kunten, Kanton Aargau, Switzerland, to an altitude of 10,638 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,114.6 meters, over a distance of 95 nautical miles in 16 minutes. Following this climb, the aircraft leveled off and cruised for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 252 nautical miles, over the Italian region of Piemonte.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from an altitude of 10,480 meters above sea level and descended to 750 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,729.9 meters, over a distance of 126 nautical miles in 25 minutes. The descent took place 39 miles south of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhone, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. Following the descent, the aircraft leveled off and cruised for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles, 5 miles south east of Badalona, Catalunya, Spain.
The final approach to runway 24R at Barcelona-El Prat Airport took place from the north east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 245.0 degrees at an altitude of 374.3 meters above ground level, over a distance of 4 nautical miles. The landing took place on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 209 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,430 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway taking just 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 501 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and used 3,486 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at an altitude of 374.3 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach to runway 24R was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 133 knots, which is an optimal speed for landing. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,430 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position may require some attention during future landings to ensure that the aircraft is properly aligned with the runway centerline.
