MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 31 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 31 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 31 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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 684 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,959 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 119 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Vecses in Hungary. It climbed from an altitude of 1,481 feet above sea level to 28,250 feet, an increase of 26,769 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 663 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Lapscheure in Belgium, where the aircraft descended from 28,080 feet to 2,355 feet, a decrease of 25,725 feet, in 28 minutes and covering 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Penshurst in England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK). The approach was from the east, with a heading of 258.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was within the acceptable range, while the touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 208 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,677 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 801 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -1,452 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold height above the target at 65 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was good at 130 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. However, the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. This may be attributed to the aircraft's altitude at touchdown being higher than expected.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may be due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 208°.
The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,677 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, maintaining a stable and controlled alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
