MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 39 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 39 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 39 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 515 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, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,182 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 90°. The crosswind was negligible, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, where the aircraft ascended from 1,186 feet above sea level to 35,363 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,177 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Greimersburg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 35,378 feet above sea level to 4,038 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,340 feet in 19 minutes, covering 111 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Boxberg, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles southwest of Eching, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent from 3,960 feet above sea level to 2,753 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,207 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile northeast of Fraunberg, Bavaria, Germany.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was from the east, with a heading of 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 303°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,362 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 343 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 3,310 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The landing distance of 1,362 meters, which accounts for 34% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 303°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment.
The crosswind component of 6 knots and the headwind component of 7 knots were well-managed by the pilot, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
