MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.9°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Hold a little more back pressure through the last of the flare to arrest the sink before 303 fpm develops.
What happened: Touchdown sink rate was 303 fpm, a firm arrival with no other fault on this landing to account for it.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: minimal sink at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,919 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 321 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 11L at Tucson International Airport (KTUS) in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 11L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,486 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and rotated at 144 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 27 °C, wind 9 kt from 100°, with a 5 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile southeast of KTUS, with the airplane climbing from 3,656 ft asl to 38,765 ft asl, an altitude gain of 35,109 ft achieved in 46 minutes while covering 376 nm.
Level cruise began 6 miles northeast of NM44 Bojax Ranch Airport, Elida, and persisted for 174 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,527 nm.
Descent started 5 miles south of Fire Island, New York, with a reduction from 38,998 ft asl to 1,326 ft asl, a loss of 37,672 ft accomplished in 21 minutes over 159 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at Nantucket Memorial Airport (KACK) involved a descent from 1,339 ft agl to 52 ft agl in 103 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24 was executed with a runway length of 1,919 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 141 kt. Touchdown occurred 321 m down the runway at 134 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 303 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 9 kt from 167°, an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 697 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway, and the runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,069 nm, required 248 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 11,432 kg of fuel.
