MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 160 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 245 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 535 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 11 at LGSA Chania International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 11 with a takeoff distance of 802 m (24 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 128 kt. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 4 kt from 099°, giving a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 14 seconds, averaging 3,120 fpm and reaching 174 kt at the top of the segment.
Climb continued from 1,576 ft asl to 40,499 ft asl in 45 minutes, covering 354 nm, starting overhead Mouzouras.
Level flight was held at 41,000 ft asl for 120 minutes, covering 980 nm, beginning 1 mile west of Serik.
Descent from 40,865 ft asl to 5,215 ft asl was completed in 10 minutes, covering 61 nm, beginning 11 miles south of Nazarabad.
Final approach to runway 29R at OIII Mehrabad International Airport descended from 1,376 ft agl to -26 ft agl in 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 10,353 ft agl at 306 kt; final flap position 8 was selected at 1,721 ft agl at 166 kt.
Landing was made on runway 29R (runway length 3,990 m). The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 123 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 92 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 112 kt, which was good, with a touchdown rate of -245 fpm (fair). The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline. Local weather was 25 °C with wind 2 kt from 029°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and no headwind. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,017 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,401 nm in 180 minutes and used 7,422 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda was conducted from the east on a heading of 257.0° at 4 nm and 1,131 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good height and the threshold speed was good at 147 kt. The touchdown point was recorded 1,299 ft down the runway, which meets the good distance criterion.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 143 kt, noted as a little fast, with a fair vertical rate of minus 242 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,080 ft, representing 62 % of the 8,144 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the high overall technique but aim to reduce touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target and manage the descent rate to improve the vertical profile, which will tighten the already strong performance.
