MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 32 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 32 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 32 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 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 Cologne Bonn Airport, EDDK. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 31R, with a takeoff distance of 1,121 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 317°. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Eil, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and reached an altitude of 22,922 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,693 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Mittenaar, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 116 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which began 1 mile south of Schnelldorf, Bavaria, Germany, and decreased the altitude from 22,946 feet to 11,029 feet in 7 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Langenmosen, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, which began overhead Scheyern, Bavaria, Germany, and decreased the altitude from 11,026 feet to 4,958 feet in 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Vilsheim, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, which began overhead Hohenpolding, Bavaria, Germany, and decreased the altitude from 4,941 feet to 2,733 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Munich Airport, EDDM, was made from the east, heading 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a 11-knot headwind at 250°.
The total landing distance was 1,349 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 273 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used 3,057 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a smooth final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 250°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a point 105 meters away from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -112 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,349 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
