MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 731 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
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 2,994 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 731 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Paris-Orly Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 149 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,128 meters accounted for 34% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground at the designated point.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed over Chilly-Mazarin, France, and continued its ascent to 38,973 feet above sea level, a gain of 37,717 feet in 37 minutes. The enroute climb phase covered a distance of 290 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 38,973 feet for 47 minutes while covering 391 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded near Hirrlingen, Germany, after which the aircraft began its descent towards Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. The descent phase, which started over Turanovac, Croatia, saw the aircraft lose 37,376 feet in altitude in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 167 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 30 from the southeast, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 144 knots, and the touchdown point was 313 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute was fair. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 854 nautical miles was achieved in 114 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 5,600 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 30 at LYBE Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a slightly above-target threshold speed of 144 kt. The aircraft maintained a good descent profile, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 313 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -236 fpm.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was excellent throughout the rollout phase, with perfect centerline alignment observed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway length of 2,993 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,237 meters, which represented 41% of the available runway.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a final score of 96.3%. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent profile was commendable, despite the slightly above-target threshold speed. The perfect centerline alignment during the rollout phase was a notable achievement, demonstrating the crew's attention to detail and proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
