MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 259 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at Ust-Kamenogorsk Airport, where the Boeing 737-600 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,234 meters, which was 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Ust-Kamenogorsk Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,987 feet above sea level to 38,615 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,628 feet in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 290 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 32 miles east of Tashanta, Russia, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 1,042 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 13 miles south of Saihan Tal Airport, China, where the aircraft descended from 38,958 feet above sea level to 1,897 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,061 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 230 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 18 miles north west of Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport, China, and lasted for only 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport was made from the north west, heading 147.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 258 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 60 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 834 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took only 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,581 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 185 minutes. The aircraft used 8,600 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at ZBSJ Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 147.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level.
The final approach to runway 15 was executed with a high degree of accuracy, with a score of 98.2%. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 258 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 834 meters was only 25% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a short distance.
