MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 5.3°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 67 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,095 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 Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25R, with a takeoff distance of 1,691 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Central City, Arizona, at an altitude of 2,005 feet above sea level. The climb continued to 35,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,995 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 9 miles east of Rainbow City, Arizona, and lasted for 66 minutes, covering a distance of 541 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 11 miles south west of Holliday, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 34,993 feet above sea level to 12,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,992 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off 1 mile south of DISH, Texas, for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. Another descent started overhead Trophy Club, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 12,007 feet above sea level to 10,578 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,429 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off overhead Colleyville, Texas, for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. Another descent started 2 miles north of Pantego, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 9,971 feet above sea level to 1,930 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,041 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36L at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,357 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36L, which had a length of 4,095 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 15 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,413 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 782 nautical miles, taking 127 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,167 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading directly towards the runway at an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon final approach, the aircraft maintained a heading of 0.0°, which indicates a perfectly aligned approach. The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed of 143 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled approach.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, but the touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 14 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,413 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, the Airbus A320 landed safely and efficiently on runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.1%.
