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 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 12 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 12 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 12 ft to touchdown.
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 2,566 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,566 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from MKJS Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 07, utilizing 67% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance of 1,631 meters was achieved at a liftoff speed of 157 knots, with a local temperature of 29°C and wind conditions of 14 knots at 110°, resulting in a 10-knot headwind and a 10-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Montego Bay, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,246 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 92 minutes and covered 681 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,300 feet to 15,565 feet in 11 minutes, covering 62 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 10 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 15,494 feet to 9,630 feet in 6 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 737-800 approached El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia, it initiated its final approach to runway 14L from the northwest, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 285 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 137 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,499 meters, utilizing 66% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 951 nautical miles in 153 minutes, using 6,715 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 14L at SKBO El Dorado International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the north west. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a slightly high threshold height of 72 ft agl, exceeding the target by a considerable margin. However, the threshold speed of 144 kt was well within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it became apparent that the touchdown speed of 137 kt was a tad faster than desired, potentially contributing to a slightly longer landing distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -78 fpm was exemplary, underscoring the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was impressively accurate, with the aircraft tracking very close to the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a gentle tailwind of 2 kt, likely played a role in the smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 2,499 m, accounting for 66% of the runway length, was a respectable figure, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, earning a score of 88.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled touchdown.
