MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Apply small, early rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline from touchdown onward.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 10 m off the centreline during the landing roll, and by touchdown the offset had grown to 11 m. A centreline deviation that appears on landing usually carries through to a larger offset at touchdown.
Watch for: Centreline marker: aircraft tracking straight over the runway centreline, not drifting to either side.
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 1,800 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,800 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 526 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at LIRN Naples International Airport in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,373 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and achieved a liftoff speed of 152 kt; ambient temperature was 22 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 349°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead Vicaria, Campania, Italy, with the airplane ascending from 1,246 ft asl to 36,173 ft asl, an increase of 34,927 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 137 nm.
The first level cruise began 4 miles north of Torricella in Sabina, Lazio, Italy, lasting 54 minutes and extending over 394 nm.
Descent started 2 miles north-west of Albstadt, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 36,634 ft asl to 4,613 ft asl, a loss of 32,022 ft in 23 minutes and traversing 129 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 3 miles north-east of Hammersbach, Hessen, Germany, and persisted for 16 minutes, covering 69 nm.
The subsequent descent began 1 mile north-east of Klein-Winternheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, where the aircraft dropped from 4,084 ft asl to 1,615 ft asl, a reduction of 2,468 ft in 3 minutes over 8 nm.
On final approach to runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,316 ft agl to 90 ft agl in 101 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
A go-around was executed on runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport at an altitude of 29 ft agl.
A second final approach to runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport followed, with a descent from 1,313 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 101 seconds, again satisfying the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 07R, which is 3,984 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown was 109 m beyond the touchdown zone at 125 kt and a rate of minus 198 fpm, with the touchdown point misaligned by 10.9 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 16 °C, wind 5 kt from 0°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,718 m, equivalent to 43 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 13.3 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 823 nm, took 160, and consumed 7,388 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E175 completed a stabilised approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, with the 1,000 ft gate confirming gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits; the descent from 1,543 ft agl to 192 ft agl was achieved in 99 seconds and the approach earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 127 kt, setting the stage for a controlled flare.
Touchdown occurred 352 m down the runway at a speed of 124 kt, which was judged good; the vertical rate of -249 fpm was rated fair, while runway-touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 1,428 m, representing 59 % of the 2,438 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft maintained perfect alignment along the centreline to the end of the runway.
To refine an already strong performance, attention should be given to moderating the flare to reduce the -249 fpm sink rate and achieve a smoother touchdown, while preserving the excellent alignment and speed control already demonstrated.
