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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,518 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, then departed from runway 29C at YSBK Sydney Bankstown Airport. The takeoff distance was 669 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 18 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Georges Hall in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,040 feet above sea level to 25,909 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,868 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Nords Wharf in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 311 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Bilambil Heights in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 26,012 feet above sea level to 2,515 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,497 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Mackenzie in the state of Queensland, Australia. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01R at YBBN Brisbane International Airport, which was located to the south west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 01R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 114 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -190 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,160 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 423 nautical miles, and the flight took 91 minutes. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YBBN Brisbane International Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 01R was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 27.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired altitude at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 122 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a controlled approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 114 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was also good at -190 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to smoothly transition from the approach to the landing, minimizing the impact on the aircraft.
The touchdown point was located 141 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance was 1,160 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 92.8%. The pilot's ability to maintain a controlled approach speed, smooth touchdown, and efficient rollout phase were all key factors in the success of the landing.
