MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 65 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 65 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 1,163 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 141 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,117 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,117 m of the 2,396 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,163 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at EGSS London Stansted Airport, a movement that required 18 minutes and covered 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft used 960 m of runway, representing 35 % of the available length, and lifted off at 153 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 25 °C, wind 14 kt from 70°, with a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south-east of Elsenham, Essex, where the aeroplane rose from 1,408 ft asl to 4,980 ft asl, an increase of 3,573 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 8 nm.
A level cruise segment followed overhead Arkesden, Essex, lasting 2 minutes and extending for 8 nm.
The next climb began 2 miles north-west of Buntingford, Hertfordshire, with altitude increasing from 5,033 ft asl to 37,520 ft asl, a gain of 32,487 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 126 nm.
Subsequent cruise commenced 17 miles south of Seaford, East Sussex, persisting for 61 minutes and covering 403 nm.
A further cruise segment started 2 miles east of Hostalric, Catalunya, lasting 5 minutes and spanning 17 nm.
Descent began 2 miles south-east of Segur, Occitanie, France, where the aircraft descended from 37,496 ft asl to 2,974 ft asl, a loss of 34,523 ft in 32 minutes while traveling 167 nm.
A second descent was initiated 1 mile north of the LEHO Club Aernautic Catalunya Hostalric, Catalunya, with altitude decreasing from 2,962 ft asl to 1,574 ft asl, a reduction of 1,388 ft over 2 minutes and a distance of 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at LEGE Girona-Costa Brava Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 19.0°, at 3 nm and 1,135 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01, which is 2,396 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 65 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 138 kt. Touchdown was recorded 711 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 kt, with a vertical rate of -2 fpm and a lateral offset of 7.0 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 29 °C, wind 5 kt from 139°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt tail-wind. Total landing distance measured 2,001 m, representing 84 % of the
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 01 at LEGE Girona-Costa Brava Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 19.0° at 3 nm and 1,135 ft agl.
At the threshold the aircraft was 65 ft agl, which was above the target height, while the threshold speed was good at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 711 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the touchdown speed was good at 127 kt and the vertical rate was perfect at minus 2 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 7.0 m off the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,001 m, representing 84 % of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 81.7 % the landing was solid; concentrate on reducing the overshoot by aiming for the touchdown zone and adjust the flare to achieve the intended threshold height.
