MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 149 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
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 223 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 390 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,549 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,549 m of the 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at EGCC Manchester Airport in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,330 m, which represented 46 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 299°, including a 9 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead Mobberley, Cheshire East, with the aeroplane ascending from 1,257 ft asl to 28,892 ft asl, a gain of 27,635 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 92 nm.
The first cruise segment began over Greatworth, Northamptonshire, and was maintained for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 104 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mile south-east of Sturry, Kent, with the flight descending from 29,590 ft asl to 4,257 ft asl, a loss of 25,332 ft in 16 minutes and a distance of 106 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiated 1 mile east of Godveerdegem, Flanders, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
The second descent was initiated over Meerbeke, Flanders, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 3,764 ft asl to 1,428 ft asl, a decrease of 2,335 ft completed in 4 minutes over 13 nm.
Final approach to runway 07L at EBBR Brussels Airport was conducted from the south-west on a heading of 65.0° at 4 nm and 1,254 ft agl, with local conditions of 19 °C temperature, a 4 kt wind from 70°, no cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07L, whose length is 3,376 m, with a threshold speed of 138 kt; the actual touchdown occurred 105 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt and a firm rate of minus 382 fpm, and the total landing roll measured 1,438 m, representing 43 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, confirming the aircraft remained on centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 331 nm, lasted 62 minutes, and consumed 2,734 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A300 successfully landed at EBLG Liège Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22L, which has a length of 3,039 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 453 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,593 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the landing process.
