MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
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 1,212 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
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: sink rate 5.5 m/s, more than the glideslope needed.
At the 152 m gate: sink rate 5.2 m/s, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,787 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,787 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,212 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Manchester Airport (EGCC), the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 23L, taking off with a takeoff distance of 936 meters, which represented 33% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots, with a local temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 4 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered a crosswind of 2 knots, but the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's trajectory.
The enroute climb phase began overhead Mobberley, Cheshire East, England, where the aircraft started its ascent from 359 meters above sea level to 11,151 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,792.3 meters in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 29 minutes and covered 244 nautical miles, before initiating a second climb phase over the Netherlands. The descent phase began 2 miles east of EDVV Kerken UL Rheurdt, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 11,490 meters above sea level to 495 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,994.8 meters in 24 minutes, covering 140 nautical miles.
The Airbus A319 finally approached runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) from the east, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 387.2 meters above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 796 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 120 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -0.9 meters per second, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,706 meters, representing 43% of the available runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 510 nautical miles, taking 84 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 2,917 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, a 3,986-meter long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 387.2 meters above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway, heading 247.0 degrees.
The touchdown point was 796 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second was good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the slight crosswind of 2 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 2 knots at 310 degrees, did not pose any significant challenges.
The total landing distance of 1,706 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 84.9%.
