MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 130 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 132 kt against a VREF of 130 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 130 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.3° against the runway's 3°, centreline 4.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 29 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,439 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 118 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving liftoff after a take-off distance of 1,212 m (64 % of the runway) at a speed of 154 kt. Local conditions were 13 °C with a wind of 21 kt from 219°, providing a 14 kt head-wind component and a 15 kt cross-wind.
Climb began one mile south-east of Brockley, North Somerset, where the aircraft rose from 1,373 ft asl to 31,494 ft asl, a gain of 30,121 ft over 36 minutes while covering 208 nm.
Descent started 20 nm east of Southwold, Suffolk, with a reduction from 31,585 ft asl to 28,757 ft asl, a loss of 2,828 ft in 2 minutes and a distance of 9 nm.
Cruise was established 28 nm east of Southwold and lasted 14 minutes, during which the flight covered 103 nm at level altitude.
Descent resumed 2 nm south-east of Den Oever, Noord-Holland, descending from 28,013 ft asl to 10,260 ft asl, a loss of 17,753 ft in 8 minutes while traveling 54 nm.
A short cruise segment was flown overhead Oosterleek, Noord-Holland, lasting 3 minutes and covering 15 nm.
The next descent began 1 nm north-east of Ilpendam, Noord-Holland, dropping from 10,009 ft asl to 2,012 ft asl, a decrease of 7,997 ft in 8 minutes over 31 nm.
Level cruise continued overhead Landsmeer for 2 minutes, during which 5 nm were flown.
Climb was then performed overhead Holysloot, Noord-Holland, gaining 545 ft from 1,747 ft asl to 2,292 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
Descent proceeded 1 nm south-west of Zunderdorp, Noord-Holland, falling from 2,279 ft asl to 70 ft asl, a loss of 2,209 ft in 3 minutes and a distance of 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was executed from 950 ft agl to 23 ft agl in 103 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24 was achieved with a threshold speed of 133 kt, touchdown speed of 134 kt, and a touchdown distance of 118 m. The aircraft touched down at a rate of minus 78 fpm, 3.5 m off centreline, and the total landing distance was 1,372 m (40 % of the runway). Local weather reported 11 °C, wind 9 kt from 220°, giving an 8 kt head-wind and 3 kt cross-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.8 m, after which the aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 444 nm, lasted 81 minutes, and consumed 6,560 kg of fuel.
