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 17 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 27 ft off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 215 ft.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
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 9,117 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 9,117 ft of the 13,401 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,201 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at King Khaled International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 33R, with a takeoff distance of 2,543 feet, which was 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 96°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead King Khaled International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 3,042 feet above sea level to 32,508 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,467 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 28 miles south of Old Khurais Airport, and lasted for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 470 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles southeast of Ibri, Oman, descending from 32,420 feet above sea level to 4,190 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,230 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 6 miles southeast of Barka', Oman, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 9 miles southeast of Barka', Oman, with the aircraft descending from 3,602 feet above sea level to 1,317 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,285 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Muscat International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 85.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 08L, which was 13,401 feet long. The threshold height was well above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 77 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,193 feet, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 91°F temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 8,733 feet, which was 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 215 feet from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 654 nautical miles, taking 162 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,051 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 08L at OOMS Muscat International Airport, achieving a score of 78.7%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 1,193 feet, which is considered good.
The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute (fpm) was slightly above the target, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than intended. The threshold height at 75 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected at the threshold.
The threshold speed of 77 knots was slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than intended at the threshold. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 91°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance of 8,733 feet was 65% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 215 feet from the centreline, which is a significant deviation. This suggests that the aircraft may have been difficult to control during the rollout phase, or that the pilot may have had difficulty aligning the aircraft with the centreline of the runway. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of alignment and control during the rollout phase.
