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
Carry more power on approach to hold 138 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 51 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 398 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 138 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 305 m gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 138 kt.
At the 152 m gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,289 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 302 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDC Dresden Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 5 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 148 °, the aircraft took off from runway 04, utilizing 72% of the 1,824-meter runway. The liftoff speed was 159 kt, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent.
As the aircraft climbed from 521 meters above sea level to 11,580 meters, it covered a distance of 146 nautical miles in 23 minutes, a notable increase of 11,059.5 meters. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent from 11,582 meters to 753 meters. This descent phase, which also lasted 23 minutes, covered 142 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before commencing its final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport.
The aircraft touched down on the 3,299-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 314 meters and a speed of 129 kt. Although the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -2.5 m/s, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, and the runway rollout alignment was also off-center by 15.3 meters. The total landing distance was 1,125 meters, accounting for 34% of the runway length. Following a taxiing period of 4 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 314 nautical miles and utilizing 2,155 kg of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 222.0° at 4 nm and 407.2 meters above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The aircraft touched down at a distance of 314 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -2.5 meters per second, indicating a possible impact on the aircraft's structural integrity. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind of 9 knots at 139°, were not particularly challenging.
The total landing distance of 1,125 meters was 34% of the runway length, which was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centreline, indicating a possible issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.2%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown and rollout phases, the aircraft's overall performance was acceptable.
