MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.7°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 168 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 230 fpm.
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 1,879 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,879 m of the 3,186 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 777 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,508 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 34 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind was 13 knots, while the headwind was 31 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-west of Aalsmeerderbrug, where the aircraft climbed from 1,014 feet above sea level to 34,290 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,276 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles north of Spiekeroog, lasting 55 minutes and covering 485 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 45 miles south-east of Dalaroe, where it climbed from 34,751 feet above sea level to 36,331 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,580 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 51 miles south-east of Djuroe, lasting 9 minutes and covering 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 34 miles north-west of EEKA Kärdla Airport Kärdla, where it descended from 36,735 feet above sea level to 3,242 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,494 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Pornainen, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles north of Sibbo, where it descended from 2,882 feet above sea level to 1,435 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,446 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport took place from the north-east, heading 227.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22L, which has a length of 3,186 meters, was successful, with the touchdown point being 358 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -219 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,795 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 853 nautical miles, taking 119 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,680 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport on runway 22L, achieving an overall score of 87.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 358 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,795 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control of the aircraft during the landing phase, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown rate.
