MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 152 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 18 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 135 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 22 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 324 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 135 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,605 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,605 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 723 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Taipei Songshan Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 10, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,360 meters accounted for 52% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground in a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft climbed away from Taipei Songshan Airport, it transitioned into a steady ascent, reaching an altitude of 12,011 feet in just 5 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 26 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady rate of ascent. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent towards Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, reducing its altitude from 12,001 feet to 3,408 feet in 5 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period before commencing its final descent, touching down on runway 05R at a speed of 128 knots. The total landing distance of 1,520 meters accounted for 46% of the runway length, with the aircraft maintaining a firm touchdown rate of -359 feet per minute.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 90 nautical miles was achieved in 33 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,271 kilograms of fuel. The flight's performance was generally satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and touchdown speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The threshold speed of 134 kt was also well within the acceptable range, indicating a good approach configuration. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 128 kt, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed. However, the firm touchdown rate of -359 fpm suggests that the aircraft's weight and descent rate were well managed.
The touchdown point was located 303 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only 5.0 m off centreline, indicating good control and alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,520 m, which accounts for 46% of the runway length, is within the acceptable range. The rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 90.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and touchdown zone, the aircraft's approach and landing characteristics were generally well-executed.
