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 2.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.2 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.2 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,020 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,020 ft of the 8,863 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5,040 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 departed from Miami International Airport's runway 08R. Taxiing from the parking to the runway took 11 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then proceeded to begin its departure roll, taking off from the runway with a takeoff distance of 3,812 feet, which equated to 36 percent of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, as the aircraft departed with a strong headwind of 2 kt at 110 degrees.
Upon takeoff, the aircraft initiated its climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,063 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 34,640 feet, a total increase of 33,576 feet in 23 minutes, while covering 157 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over the Gulf of Mexico and into the sky over the Cuban island of Cuba.
After the climb, the aircraft leveled off for a cruise, commencing 50 miles north of Las Brujas Airport in Cuba. The cruise phase lasted 28 minutes, covering a distance of 214 nautical miles. Following the cruise, the aircraft started its descent from 35,079 feet asl, initiated 1 mile west of Media Luna in Cuba. The aircraft descended to a height of 1,290 feet asl in a matter of 28 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to Norman Manley International Airport's runway 12, with the aircraft heading 115 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The threshold height at 77 feet agl was significantly above the target height, while the threshold speed was marginally higher than the target speed of 151 knots.
Landing on the runway, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 144 knots, with the touchdown point located beyond the midpoint of the 8,863-foot-long runway. With a runway touchdown alignment of perfect, the touch-down rate was 154 feet per minute, and a runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
Following the landing, the aircraft took off again taxiing to the parking from the runway in just 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 515 nautical miles was achieved in a flying time of 93 minutes, consuming a total of 9,244 pounds of fuel.
A Boeing 737-800 recently conducted a landing at the Norman Manley International Airport (MKJP), with the aircraft scoring 84.5% in the assessment. The final approach was conducted from the west, with a heading of 115.0° and at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 12, which is 8,863 feet long. However, despite achieving a threshold height of 1,266 feet agl, which was significantly above the target height, the landing was not entirely flawless. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have made some adjustments in the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown point was notable for being longer than 50% of the available runway, indicating that the pilot's flare was delayed or not as effective as it could have been. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and aligned it with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 91°F (32.7°C) and a gentle headwind of 7 knots. Although there was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, its impact was minimal. The overall flight was considered satisfactory, with the only notable areas for improvement being the slightly above-target touchdown speed and the longer-than-ideal touchdown point.
The aircraft's total landing distance was 6,760 feet, which accounted for 76% of the available runway. Following the touchdown, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway rollout alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled rollout.
In conclusion, while the Boeing 737-800 landing at MKJP was considered satisfactory, there were some areas that the pilot could work on to improve their skills and achieve a higher score. By paying close attention to their touchdown speed and flare technique, the pilot should be able to make adjustments to the flight and land more efficiently in the future.
