MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,480 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,480 m of the 2,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 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 57 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FWB Infinity Airways, then departed from runway 09 at Phu Bai International Airport (VVPB) in Huế, Vietnam. The takeoff distance was 1,639 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a height of 37,011 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 216 nautical miles in 33 minutes. The climb started 1 mile east of the airport and took the aircraft through various altitudes, including a significant increase of 36,011 feet. The local weather conditions during this period were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 277°.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 41 miles north of Foluo Northeast Air Base (ZDAN) in China. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 171 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,100 feet above sea level to 24,932 feet, a decrease of 12,168 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with each phase lasting for a few minutes. The level cruise phases were characterized by short durations and small distances covered, while the descent phases were marked by significant decreases in altitude and distances covered.
The final approach to runway 34 at Macau International Airport (VMMC) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 2,398 meters, accounting for 91% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 10°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 608 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used 3,392 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB Infinity Airways aircraft successfully landed at VMMC Macau International Airport, achieving a score of 91.1%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 341.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 2,641 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's performance characteristics.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively during the landing process. However, the touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced some deceleration issues during the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 11 kt at 10°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt.
The total landing distance was 2,398 meters, which is 91% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout process.
Overall, the FWB Infinity Airways aircraft performed a satisfactory landing at VMMC Macau International Airport, with a score of 91.1%. While there were some minor deviations, the aircraft was able to achieve a safe and effective landing, taking into account the local weather conditions and the characteristics of the runway.
