MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 770 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 293 m past the target, landing at 750 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,486 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,935 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,935 m of the 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 750 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 07L at KLAX, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 07L with a take-off distance of 2,141 m (58 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 167 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 36 °C, wind 4 kt from 069°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,444 fpm and reaching 178 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,149 ft asl to 33,006 ft asl in 32 minutes, covering 212 nm, beginning 1 mile west of Lennox.
A cruise at 33,000 ft asl continued for 204 minutes, covering 1,692 nm, starting 3 miles north of Whitney. The climb from 33,007 ft asl to 36,950 ft asl lasted 7 minutes over 68 nm, beginning 10 miles west of North Bay.
Level flight between 37,000 ft asl and 41,000 ft asl persisted for 398 minutes, covering 3,630 nm, starting 32 miles north-east of Mattawa.
Descent from 40,994 ft asl to 1,303 ft asl took 33 minutes and covered 167 nm, beginning 9 miles east of LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport.
Final approach to runway 16L at LIRF began with a descent from 1,331 ft agl to 72 ft agl in 102 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level; the sink-rate check was not met at one gate. Configuration was landing gear down at 4,290 ft agl at 230 kt, and final flap position 4 at 3,591 ft agl at 184 kt.
Landing on runway 16L (runway length 3,890 m) recorded a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 330 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 133 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 206 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather at landing was temperature 15 °C, wind 4 kt from 080°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and no head-wind. No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 1,853 m (48 % of runway). Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.2 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in 1 minute, covering 2 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 5,780 nm in 682 minutes and used 74,370 kg of fuel.
