MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 107 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 76 ft agl, 26 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 117 kt, 10 kt over the 107 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 473 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 107 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,568 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,568 m of the 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 930 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 765 m, representing 23 % of the available runway, with liftoff attained at 123 kt. Ambient temperature was 26 °C, wind was 19 kt from 320°, providing a 15 kt headwind component and a 12 kt cross-wind.
Climb began directly overhead UBBB, accelerating from 902 ft asl to 40,005 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,103 ft. The ascent was completed in 17 minutes while covering 72 nm.
The first cruise segment started 12 miles south of Qobustan and persisted for 120 minutes, during which 789 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent commenced 5 miles west of Yenicaga, descending from 40,017 ft asl to 9,439 ft asl, a loss of 30,578 ft. The phase lasted 26 minutes and spanned 133 nm.
A brief cruise followed, beginning 3 miles north-west of Yenikoy, lasting 4 minutes and covering 17 nm.
The next descent started 7 miles south-west of Adalar, dropping from 9,006 ft asl to 2,993 ft asl, a decrease of 6,014 ft. This segment took 7 minutes and encompassed 24 nm.
A short cruise then began 6 miles south of Beylikduezue, lasting 2 minutes and adding 2 nm to the flight path.
Subsequent descent began 5 miles south of Beylikduezue, reducing altitude from 2,820 ft asl to 1,398 ft asl, a loss of 1,422 ft. The maneuver required 3 minutes and covered 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 05 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport was executed from the south-west on a heading of 58.0°, at 4 nm and 1,263 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 05 at an altitude of 4 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05, whose length is 2,442 m, occurred with a threshold height of 76 ft agl and a threshold speed of 118 kt. Touchdown was recorded 563 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 102 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 125 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.9 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 24 °C, wind 13 kt from 60°, with no cross-wind and a 13 kt head-wind component.
Rollout distance measured 1,537 m, representing 63 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path was laterally offset by 7.7 m from the centreline.
In total the flight covered 1,072 nm, required 193 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,491 kg of fuel.
The FSReborn Phenom 300E Oberon approached runway 05 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport from the south-west on a heading of 58.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,263 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft was 76 ft agl, a height well above the target, and the threshold speed was 118 kt, also well above the target.
Touchdown occurred 563 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 102 kt, described as good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 125 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 4.9 m.
The total landing distance was 1,537 m, representing 63 % of the 2,442 m runway, and the rollout remained slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline.
To improve future performance, reduce the threshold height and speed to meet the prescribed targets and aim to achieve touchdown within the designated zone, which will help keep rollout distance and alignment within optimal limits.
