MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 294 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,892 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 06, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 275°. The aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,809 meters, utilizing 45% of the runway, and reached liftoff speed of 151 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed over Senningen, Luxembourg, and continued to ascend to 22,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,817 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started over Mainvillers, France, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, passing over Sombacour, France, and continued to descend to 8,077 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,920 feet in 10 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend and level off at various points, including Gimel, Switzerland, and Prilly, before beginning its final descent to Geneva Cointrin International Airport.
The Boeing 737-700 landed on runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 290 meters and a touchdown speed of 130 kt. The aircraft utilized 38% of the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,360 meters. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 15 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, taking 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,232 kg of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -400 fpm, slightly above the optimal rate. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 133 kt was well managed.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect alignment with the runway's centerline, demonstrating excellent control and coordination. The total landing distance of 1,360 m was 38% of the runway's length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and rollout performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a negligible wind of 2 kt at 0 °, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 97.5%. The approach quality was good, with a steady descent and a well-managed rate of descent. The touchdown characteristics were well-controlled, and the rollout was smooth and aligned with the runway's centerline. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience, and demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and efficient landing.
