MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, as soon as you reach 11 ft, rather than waiting until closer to the runway.
What happened: The flare began at 4.2 ft, 7 ft later than the normal band, leaving little time to arrest the sink. A late flare like this usually carries through to a firmer-than-normal touchdown.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, calling the flare at 11 ft.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 305 m and 152 m 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 3,906 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With the local weather conditions favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 321°, the aircraft took off from runway 24. The takeoff distance of 1,334 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway, was successfully completed at a liftoff speed of 148 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed over 117 nautical miles in 17 minutes, reaching an altitude of 11,729 meters above sea level. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards Milan Malpensa International Airport. The descent phase was divided into several segments, with the aircraft descending from 11,765 meters to 1,836 meters above sea level in 20 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35R was executed from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 349.0° at 4 nautical miles and 354.8 meters above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 115 kt and a touchdown distance of 396 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 857 meters, and the aircraft used 2,364 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 356 nautical miles and lasted 71 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A319, successfully completed a final approach to runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport from the south, aligning with the runway heading of 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 354.8 meters above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 115 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -0.7 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The touchdown distance of 396 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled approach.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with a very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 857 meters, which accounted for only 22% of the runway length, further demonstrated the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.8%, a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance.
