MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 5.2°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
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 692 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 627 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 1,727 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,727 m of the 1,934 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 913 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, situated at LFSB, on runway 15. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,812-meter runway, which represented 65% of its length. Liftoff occurred at a speed of 167 knots, with a local temperature of 17°C and wind conditions of 12 knots at 10°, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and a 10-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Hesingue, France, and continued to ascend to 23,004 feet above sea level, a gain of 21,134 feet in 13 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile west of Gossau, Switzerland, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, passing overhead Balgach, Switzerland, and descending to 13,476 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,531 feet in 5 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruise and descent phases, with the final descent starting 1 mile north of Tarrenz, Austria, and ending at 6,734 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport, LOWI, from the west, heading 81.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,055 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on the 1,891-meter runway, with a touchdown point 455 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -487 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,605 meters, representing 85% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,085 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 81.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,055 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 128 knots, which was also within the desired parameters.
However, the touchdown characteristics were not ideal, with a hard touchdown rate of -487 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 455 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a light wind of 7 knots at 4°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,605 meters was 85% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned from the centreline by 18.0 meters, which may indicate a slight deviation during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing scored 80.1%, indicating a satisfactory performance with some areas for improvement.
