MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 114 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 319 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 01R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,218 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 102 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from KSFO, the enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,007 feet above sea level to 31,706 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 127 nautical miles, took 22 minutes and resulted in an increase of 30,700 feet.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 11 miles west of Sunnyside-Tahoe City, California. This cruise phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 486 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Skidmo Airport in Etna, Wyoming. The descent, which covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, took 12 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 24,413 feet from 31,973 feet above sea level to 7,561 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 19 at Jackson Hole Airport (KJAC) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 202.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,137 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 94 knots and a touchdown distance of 416 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -326 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 932 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 663 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 4,154 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,137 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 19, which has a length of 1,923 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 109 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down prior to touchdown.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 416 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 94 knots. The touchdown rate was firm, at -326 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate considering the aircraft's weight and the runway conditions. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilots successfully managed the aircraft to achieve a good landing.
The total landing distance was 932 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to manage the aircraft's approach and landing, despite the challenging weather conditions.
