MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 90 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 90 ft, 45 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 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 2,387 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 740 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 06L at RJBB Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan. The takeoff distance was 1,799 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 50°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of RJBB Kansai International Airport. The climb took 28 minutes to reach a height of 36,781 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,792 feet from the initial altitude of 989 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 232 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Menuma, Japan. This phase lasted for 224 minutes and covered a distance of 1,958 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a period of steady flight at a constant altitude, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started at a latitude of 51.9621781 and a longitude of 179.2448357. The descent took 23 minutes to reach a height of 1,538 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,988 feet from the initial altitude of 36,526 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 163 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at PADK Adak Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,508 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,387 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 318 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 266°.
The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,361 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 284 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,904 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PADK Adak Airport, with a final approach from the north east, heading 240.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,508 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing, with a good threshold height and a well-above-target threshold speed of 150 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 318 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute was smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and winds of 20 knots at 266°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,084 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
