MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 24 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 24 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 24 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,801 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,801 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 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 Faro Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 10, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 146 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 30 °.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,027 feet above sea level to 37,230 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,203 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The climb took place over the city of Faro in Portugal. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 80 minutes and covered a distance of 597 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 2 miles east of Valsequillo in Andalusia, Spain.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from an altitude of 36,930 feet above sea level to 2,678 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,252 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The descent took place over the city of Marlhes in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The final approach to runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading at 226.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 22, which had a length of 3,570 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 64 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 °C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at a direction of 277 °.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 852 nautical miles, taking a total of 140 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,398 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) on runway 22, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 64 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -246 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 277°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The runway length of 3,570 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,723 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the perfect alignment of the runway touchdown and rollout. The aircraft's wheels touched down directly on the centerline of the runway, and the rollout was also perfectly aligned, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
