MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 133 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 144 kt, 11 kt above the 133 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 0.4° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 133 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 5.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 16° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,186 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 taxied from the parking area to runway 32 at CYHZ Halifax / Stanfield International Airport in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 32, the aircraft used 1,501 m of runway, representing 64 % of the available length, and lifted off at 148 kt; local weather was 17 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 220°, giving a 7 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced one mile north-west of CYHZ, with the airplane ascending from 1,270 ft asl to 32,002 ft asl, an increase of 30,732 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 78 nm.
The first cruise segment began 13 miles east of CCB6 Clementsport Maplecove and continued for 88 minutes, during which 528 nm were flown.
Descent started one mile south-east of KKUU Kulpsville Airport, with altitude decreasing from 31,996 ft asl to 3,077 ft asl, a loss of 28,919 ft in 20 minutes over 113 nm.
A short cruise over Chevy Chase View lasted 3 minutes and spanned 8 nm.
The next descent began one mile east of Potomac, dropping from 2,910 ft asl to 1,034 ft asl, a reduction of 1,876 ft in 3 minutes across 9 nm.
A brief cruise over Rosslyn continued for 2 minutes, covering 4 nm.
A further descent started one mile south of Potomac, descending from 2,960 ft asl to 151 ft asl, a loss of 2,809 ft in 5 minutes and 12 nm traveled.
Climb resumed overhead KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, gaining 1,630 ft from 1,378 ft asl to 3,009 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment was positioned one mile south-west of National Harbor and lasted 7 minutes, during which 22 nm were covered.
Final approach to runway 19 at KDCA descended from 423 ft agl to 59 ft agl in 27 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 19 was executed with a threshold speed of 144 kt, touchdown distance of 420 m, touchdown speed of 140 kt, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 365 fpm; the touchdown point was 4.9 m off centreline. Local conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 190°, providing a 2 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,335 m, equal to 61 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 784 nm, took 154, and consumed 3,117 kg of fuel.
