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 38 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 319 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,575 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,575 ft of the 6,861 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,074 ft 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of two nautical miles. Departure roll took place from runway 36C at LTAI Antalya International Airport, with the takeoff distance covered being 3,858 feet, which accounted for approximately 35 percent of the runway. Upon takeoff, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, under the influence of a temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit, a wind speed of 4 knots at 350 degrees, giving a 1-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
Following departure, the aircraft initiated enroute level cruise at an altitude of 35,433 feet after ascending from an initial height of 1,221 feet in the Antalya area. This transition occurred in 20 minutes and covered 138 nautical miles. The aircraft continued enroute level cruise for 144 minutes, traveling 1,094 nautical miles from a point 6 miles southeast of Aslanapa in Turkey to an unknown destination.
After the cruise, the aircraft commenced its descent and began to reduce altitude from a height of 35,569 feet over the German area, Dargen, in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, to 1,283 feet within a span of 27 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles. The flight then proceeded towards EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, executing a final approach to runway 30 from the southeast. The aircraft's approach took place in the presence of a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit, wind speed of 3 knots at 89 degrees, a 2-knot crosswind, and a 3-knot tailwind.
During final approach, the pilot achieved an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. Subsequently, the aircraft landed on runway 30, with the touchdown point located 709 feet beyond the touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed was somewhat high at 134 knots, the touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute was satisfactory. Moreover, the runway touchdown and rollout alignment was found to be excellent. Following a successful landing, the taxiing to the parking took only three minutes, and the aircraft covered less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 1,353 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 209 minutes. The aircraft consumed 18,141 pounds of fuel for the entire trip.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft has successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The approach to runway 30 from the south-east, heading 303.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level, indicates a well-managed approach.
During the landing, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was maintained at a suitable height before touching down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target of 140 knots, which may require some fine-tuning in terms of airspeed management during landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed at a point 709 feet beyond the touchdown zone. While this is somewhat beyond the target, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was deemed a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute was reported as good, indicating that the descent was well-controlled and did not put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
A key aspect of this approach was the runway alignment, which was described as very good both at touchdown and during the rollout. This excellent alignment suggests precise control over roll and pitch during the landing process.
Weather conditions were relatively calm during the landing, with a temperature of 59 °F, a light wind of 3 knots at 89 °, and minimal crosswind and tailwind components. These favorable conditions contributed to a smooth landing process.
The total landing distance of 5,310 feet was 77% of the runway length, which, considering the available data, is a moderate result and can be seen as acceptable.
