MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ100, then departed from runway 09L at Philadelphia International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,095 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a 14-knot headwind at 73°. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of National Park in New Jersey, and the aircraft climbed from 1,020 feet above sea level to 30,597 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,577 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Putnam Lake in New York, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,690 feet above sea level to 21,123 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,566 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles south of Malone Dufort Airport in New York, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 20,873 feet above sea level to 7,830 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,042 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 5 miles west of Winchester Airport in Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 7,807 feet above sea level to 2,970 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,837 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of Richmond in Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport from the southwest, heading 57.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown point 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 11°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 66°.
The total landing distance was 1,185 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 410 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes, using 2,935 kilograms of fuel.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 57.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 07, which has a length of 2,432 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's performance characteristics.
The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 66°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher threshold speed.
The total landing distance was 1,185 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.8%. However, there were some minor issues with the threshold speed and touchdown rate, which may be addressed in future training exercises.
