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 5.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 36 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 36 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 36 ft to touchdown.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 651 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,465 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 300°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 460 feet above sea level to 31,622 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,162 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 209 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 8 miles south east of Peniscola, Spain. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles north west of Santisteban del Puerto, Spain. The descent took the aircraft from 32,402 feet above sea level to 1,411 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,991 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LEZL Sevilla Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 3,347 meters, with a threshold height of 69 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 138 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 259°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,355 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 459 nautical miles, which was covered in 61 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,138 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LEZL Sevilla Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 3,347 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly above the target speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed during the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 259°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 15 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The total landing distance of 1,355 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed.
