MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.6°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 31 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 31 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 31 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,717 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,717 m of the 3,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 708 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Larnaca International Airport (LCLK). This process took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22, and the takeoff distance was 1,444 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 38°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Meneou, a location in the Eparchia Larnakas region of Cyprus, and continued to an altitude of 24,962 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 63 nautical miles and took 12 minutes.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 9 miles west of Pomos in the Paphos District of Cyprus. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 64 miles southeast of Cirali in Antalya, Turkey. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 25,052 feet to 1,459 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 36C at Antalya International Airport (LTAI) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 7.0° at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,404 meters, and the threshold height was well above the target. The threshold speed was good at 141 knots, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was also good.
The touchdown point was 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was good at -168 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 42°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 200°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 212 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 1,909 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LTAI Antalya International Airport, with a score of 89.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 7.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 36C, which has a length of 3,404 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 135 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also good, at -168 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.8 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind conditions, which were relatively light, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 42°C, and a moderate wind blowing at 10 knots from a direction of 200°. Despite these conditions, the aircraft performed well, with a good threshold speed of 141 knots. The threshold height, however, was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on final approach.
The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and landed smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing, including the slightly misaligned touchdown position and the high threshold height.
