MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring speed back to 117 kt by the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 146 kt against a target of 117 kt, and the flare that followed strayed from its usual profile; this combination usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt at the threshold
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: six 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,421 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,385 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question originated from CYXS Prince George Airport in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. After taxiing for 9 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, the aircraft took off from runway 15. The departure roll was successful, with a takeoff distance of 2,906 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. The aircraft reached liftoff speed of 144 knots.
As the aircraft continued its ascent, it reached a level cruise altitude of 42,984 feet, a significant increase of 39,739 feet from its initial altitude of 3,244 feet. This climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The enroute climb started near Prince George and continued until the aircraft reached a suitable altitude for further flight.
After reaching the desired cruise altitude, the aircraft engaged in a 33-minute level cruise, which covered a distance of 265 nautical miles. This cruise took place 11 miles north of the CYJM Fort St. James Airport, a stopover location.
Upon reaching the desired cruise altitude and location, the aircraft began a gradual descent. The enroute descent started 15 miles north west of CBW4 Bob Quinn Lake Airport in British Columbia, Canada. The descent from 42,709 feet to 11,735 feet took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its descent, it engaged in a series of short level cruises. The first short cruise took place 9 miles south of the 7AK2 Snettisham Airport in Alaska, United States, and lasted for just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. Another short cruise occurred 3 miles north of the HWI Hawk Inlet Seaplane Base in Alaska, lasting 8 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The final descent took place 2 miles south east of the A43 Taku Harbor Seaplane Base in Alaska. The aircraft descended from 11,723 feet to 3,185 feet, a decrease of 8,538 feet in just 5 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles.
After completing the approach, the aircraft made a final approach to runway 08 at the PAJN Juneau International Airport from the west. The approach was successful, despite the aircraft touching down 668 feet beyond the touchdown zone.
The landing took place on runway 08, which has a length of 8,421 feet. Despite some initial difficulties, the aircraft landed successfully, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 100°.
The total landing distance was 3,304 feet, which accounts for 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft demonstrating smooth control during the rollout phase. Taxiing to the parking area took just 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total distance covered during the flight was 501 nautical miles, which was covered in 90 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,833 pounds of fuel throughout the flight.
Comprehensive Report: Aircraft C750's Landing at PAJN Juneau International Airport
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at PAJN Juneau International Airport, but with several key areas that require correction. The flight executed a final approach from the west, heading 105.0 ° at 2 nm and 1,766 ft Above Ground Level (agl), towards Runway 08. Upon touchdown, the aircraft was 668 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, exceeding the recommended target by a significant margin.
The landing assessment yielded an overall score of 80.3%, indicating a moderate level of proficiency. Notably, the pilot failed to meet the threshold height target, touching down at 137 ft agl as opposed to the intended 137 ft. Furthermore, the threshold speed was also recorded at 147 kt, exceeding the recommended limit. It was also observed that the touchdown speed was too high, clocking in at 130 kt, and the touchdown rate was characterized as firm at -324 fpm.
Visual examination of the run indicated that the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned with the centerline by 18 ft. This deviation from the ideal alignment may be attributed to the pilot's handling of the aircraft or an incomplete control over the flight's path to a runway. Weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 52 °F, with a moderate headwind of 16 kt at a direction of 100 °. The overall crosswind was minimal, measuring only 1 kt.
Post-landing data indicates that the aircraft's total landing distance was 3,304 ft, which accounts for 39% of the runway's length. This moderate distance-to-runway-ratio signifies a reasonable yet not exceptional landing performance. Notwithstanding, one redeeming feature of the landing was the favorable runway rollout alignment, which displayed a high degree of accuracy and control from the pilot. In a general assessment, while Aircraft C750 successfully landed at PAJN Juneau International Airport, its pilots exhibited some minor shortcomings that demand correction to further enhance overall proficiency in landing scenarios.
