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
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 761 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 761 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 10, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,343-meter-long runway, which represented 52% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, taking advantage of the 6-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed away from Taipei Songshan Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 978 feet above sea level to 14,010 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 13,032 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 14,010 feet for 3 minutes as it covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 14,009 feet to 4,077 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by another level cruise phase, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 05R, descending from 4,008 feet to 1,404 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 119 knots, with a touchdown point located 338 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The landing distance of 1,326 meters represented 40% of the runway's total length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 89 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,178 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 33 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport with a threshold speed of 139 kt, slightly above the target value. The good threshold height allowed for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. At 119 kt, the touchdown speed was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -412 fpm, which may have been due to the aircraft's high approach speed.
The aircraft landed 338 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, indicating good control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 17 kt, may have contributed to the slightly higher than expected threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,326 m, accounting for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating good control and coordination during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 90.8%.
