MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 446 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 438 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,883 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 652 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cagliari Elmas Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 32, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 157 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,462 meters was 52% of the runway length, with a local wind of 17 knots at 310 degrees providing a significant headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it overflew Elmas, Italy, and began its ascent to 36,010 feet above sea level. The climb phase lasted 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 118 nautical miles and increased its altitude by 35,042 feet. Following a 59-minute level cruise at an altitude of 36,010 feet, the aircraft began its descent towards Paris-Orly Airport. The descent phase was initiated 1 mile south east of Dijon, France, and lasted 18 minutes, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude by 25,926 feet and covered 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Paris-Orly Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft descending from 10,009 feet above sea level to 1,668 feet above sea level. The landing was completed with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The total landing distance was 1,438 meters, or 50% of the runway length, with a runway touchdown position that was misaligned by 8 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 691 nautical miles and using 4,878 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport from the east was initiated at 4 nm and 1,370 ft above ground level, heading 254.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 149 kt, which may have been due to the prevailing wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing featured a temperature of 7 °C and a wind of 22 kt at 299°, resulting in a 16 kt headwind and a 16 kt crosswind.
The aircraft touched down 231 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -370 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The total landing distance of 1,438 m was 50% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with very good alignment to the centreline. The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 92.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the crew's skills and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and controlled landing.
