MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 9.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.3 ft, 3 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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.

Side view — the last 1,828 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,828 m of the 4,085 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 326 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, Philippines. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,801 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the aircraft climbed to a height of 241 feet above sea level before beginning its enroute climb.
As the aircraft climbed, it passed overhead the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and continued to ascend to a height of 37,453 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,212 feet in just 17 minutes. The enroute climb covered a distance of 116 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 116 minutes and covering a distance of 909 nautical miles.
The level cruise phase was followed by another enroute climb, this time from a height of 37,497 feet above sea level to 39,373 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,875 feet in 189 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 1,436 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 339 minutes and covering a distance of 1,050 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from a height of 39,099 feet above sea level to 19,218 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,882 feet in just 11 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The level cruise phase was followed by another descent, this time from a height of 18,669 feet above sea level to 6,259 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,410 feet in 7 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 12 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final descent began from a height of 6,151 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,853 feet in 5 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at Muscat International Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 265.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 26R, which was 4,085 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 328 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 149 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,757 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 240 degrees, a crosswind of 2 knots, and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total flight distance was 3,654 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 520 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,324 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at OOMS Muscat International Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 26R, which has a length of 4,085 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 328 meters, but the touchdown speed of 149 knots was faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed and alignment.
