MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 30 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of -2° usually follows into the initial climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held through the climb
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink only for 337 fpm of it to come back as the aircraft ballooned before touchdown; this pattern usually carries the touchdown further down the runway, and here it touched down 738 m past the target point.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 2,203 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,203 m of the 4,144 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,195 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Indira Gandhi International Airport (VIDP) in New Delhi, India, the Phenom 300E aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 25 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 874 meters, accounting for 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 122 knots, taking advantage of the 14-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a distance of 95 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 43,272 feet in 19 minutes. The climb phase concluded overhead VIDP, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 47 minutes, covering 1,362 nautical miles, before initiating its descent. The descent phase started 14 miles southeast of Sangkhla Buri, Thailand, and lasted 28 minutes, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 40,642 feet to reach 4,354 feet above sea level. The final approach to runway 20R at Suvarnabhumi Airport (VTBS) was executed from the north, with a heading of 195.0° and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing was completed on runway 20R, with a touchdown point 763 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 92 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute was excellent. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 27.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,648 nautical miles was achieved in 114 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,661 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 20R at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 1,260 ft above ground level, heading 195.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 64 ft above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed of 116 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the final stages of the approach.
The aircraft touched down 763 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 92 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -66 fpm was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of accuracy in the pilot's control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35 °C and wind at 13 kt from 220°, resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 11 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,106 m was 52% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 27.8 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 77.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
