MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.9°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 13 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 13 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 13 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,913 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,913 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 727 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at LPPD João Paulo II Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,209 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 318 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Relva in the Azores, Portugal. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,045 feet above sea level to 33,108 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,062 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 108 miles northeast of Agua Retorta in the Azores, Portugal. This phase lasted for 155 minutes and covered a distance of 1,304 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles southeast of Orford in Suffolk, England. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 32,736 feet above sea level to 1,260 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,476 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, with a heading of 183.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,527 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 322 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,842 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.3 meters from the centerline.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,556 nautical miles, which was covered in 216 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,703 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a score of 84.9%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 322 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -226 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.0 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing position.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,842 meters, which accounted for 52% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 22.3 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal rollout position. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to safely touch down and come to a stop within the designated runway area.
