MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 226 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 226 fpm next time
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 2,400 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDC Dresden Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 22, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,115 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a crosswind component of 12 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Dresden, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 23,808 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile north-west of Otterwisch, lasting 18 minutes and covering 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 23,999 feet to 20,009 feet in 3 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final approach to runway 23R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport from the north-east.
The final approach was characterized by a heading of 233.0° at an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters, slightly above the target threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,335 meters, accounting for 63% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 298 nautical miles, with a flight time of 75 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,306 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 23R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 393 meters, but the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind of 4 knots at 30°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,335 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 99.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
