MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 4.1°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 139 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 16 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 731 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 139 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,075 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the takeoff distance covering 59% of the runway's length at 1,236 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and winds of 13 knots at 329 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of Calvi, France, and reached an altitude of 33,801 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,724 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north of Barcelonnette, France, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 150 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 33,831 feet above sea level to 4,449 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,381 feet in 27 minutes, covering 161 nautical miles. The descent continued with a brief level cruise overhead Saint-Cheron, France, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Bonnelles, France, and ended at 1,581 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,343 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at Paris-Orly Airport from the south west, heading 62.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 06, with a runway length of 3,344 meters. The threshold height was excessively over target at 111 feet above ground level, but the threshold speed was good at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 631 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -472 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, covering 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 475 nautical miles, taking 85 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,861 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, with a score of 79.3%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, heading 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -472 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly abrupt touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 14 knots at 60°. This headwind component was beneficial for the landing, as it helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and made the landing more stable. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The touchdown point was located 631 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the expected location. The threshold height at 111 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when it reached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was good, at 135 knots, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilot executed the landing smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the hard touchdown rate and the excessive threshold height, the aircraft landed safely and the pilot executed the landing smoothly. The score of 79.3% indicates that the landing was generally good, but there is room for improvement in certain areas.
