MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.4 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.2°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 243 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.4 ft.
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 1,547 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,547 m of the 2,338 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 277 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, served as the departure point for the Airbus A319, which taxiing from the parking to runway 01L required 15 minutes and covered 3 nm. The takeoff roll measured 2,066 m, representing 57 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 142 kt. Local conditions were 20 °C with a 13 kt wind from 10°, providing a 13 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind. Immediately after departure, the climb commenced over Gardermoen, rising from 1,640 ft to 6,890 ft in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm, followed by a brief 2‑minute cruise segment 3 mi northwest of Raholt that spanned 6 nm. A subsequent climb 5 mi northwest of Maura elevated the aircraft from 7,062 ft to 38,002 ft over 16 minutes and 105 nm, before a 47‑minute cruise 12 mi northeast of Hovden covered 349 nm.
Descent operations began 7 mi southeast of Stonehaven, where the aircraft descended from 37,774 ft to 7,560 ft in 9 minutes across 61 nm. A short 2‑minute cruise 3 mi southeast of Dunning spanned 7 nm, followed by a descent 1 mi north of Tillicoultry from 7,157 ft to 3,508 ft over 5 minutes and 17 nm. Another brief cruise 1 mi south of Slamannan lasted 3 minutes and covered 9 nm, before a final descent over Stoneyburn reduced altitude from 3,009 ft to 1,429 ft in 3 minutes across 7 nm. The approach to runway 06 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport was executed from the southwest, maintaining a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft AGL.
Landing on runway 06, which measures 2,338 m, the aircraft touched down after a 275 m rollout at a speed of 110 kt, slightly above the threshold speed of 116 kt, with a touchdown rate of –268 fpm. The touchdown alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance was 1,458 m, accounting for 62 % of the runway. Post‑landing taxiing to the parking required 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 576 nm, consumed 3,634 kg of fuel, and spanned 104 minutes.
The final approach to runway 06 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport was executed from the south west, maintaining a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft AGL. The aircraft approached with a threshold speed of 116 kt, which was considered good, and the threshold height was also satisfactory. The approach quality was consistent, allowing a smooth transition into the landing phase.
Touchdown occurred at a distance of 275 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 110 kt, slightly above the ideal. The touchdown rate was fair at –268 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft landed on runway 06, which has a length of 2,338 m, and the total landing distance was 1,458 m, representing 62 % of the available runway. The local weather conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 70°, providing a 2 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
The rollout phase was executed with perfect runway alignment, and the aircraft decelerated smoothly to a stop within the calculated landing distance. Overall, the landing performance achieved a score of 99.5 %, reflecting a highly efficient and well-controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout sequence.
