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 3,186 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 637 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 06 at GVSV São Pedro Airport. The takeoff distance was 466 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of GVSV São Pedro Airport. The climb took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 249 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,185 feet above sea level to 38,502 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,317 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 181 minutes and covered a distance of 1,090 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 19.5662123 and a longitude of -21.713643. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southwest of GMIM Imider Airport. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,972 feet above sea level to 5,844 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,128 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase began 14 miles southeast of Errachidia, Morocco. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at GMFK Moulay Ali Cherif Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 306.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown point 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -63 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were the same as those at departure, with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,464 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 190 minutes. The aircraft used 7,737 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at GMFK Moulay Ali Cherif Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 306.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was also 5 knots, resulting in a relatively calm landing environment.
The total landing distance of 1,240 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown.
