MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 0.5 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.5 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,556 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,556 m of the 3,493 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 576 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Mohammed V International Airport, GMMN, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35R, with a takeoff distance of 1,886 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 167 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Zawyat an Nwacer, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco, and reached an altitude of 10,670 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,173.7 meters in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles southeast of Fes Sefrou Airport, Fes, Morocco, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 279 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and descend at various points, with the first descent starting 6 miles east of Mostaganem Airport, Sayada, Algeria, and reaching an altitude of 4,818 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,852.9 meters in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 5 miles west of Ain Defla, Algeria, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The second descent started 9 miles west of Medea, Algeria, and reached an altitude of 3,353 meters above sea level, a decrease of 1,218.6 meters in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and descend at various points, with the final descent starting 14 miles southeast of Larbaa, Algeria, and reaching an altitude of 756 meters above sea level, a decrease of 2,197.9 meters in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of Douera, Algeria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Houari Boumediene Airport, DAAG, was made from the west, heading 92.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 368.4 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 3,493 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -0.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 70 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,472 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 607 nautical miles, taking a total of 108 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,706 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Houari Boumediene Airport, with a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, heading 92.0° at an altitude of 368.4 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold speed slightly above the target at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have applied the brakes slightly too late. The touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 17 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,472 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and runway alignment. The pilot's performance was good, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
