MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 228 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 503 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the threshold of runway 18R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,251-meter runway, which represented 32% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 149 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off into the air, with a local temperature of 32°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,020 feet above sea level to 39,001 feet, a vertical gain of 37,980 feet, in 43 minutes and covering 315 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted 171 minutes and spanned 1,306 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew northeast of Abakaliki, Nigeria. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief enroute descent, initiated 6 miles east of Watsa Airport in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the aircraft descended from 38,471 feet to 2,965 feet, a decrease of 35,507 feet, in 22 minutes and covering 156 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Juba International Airport in South Sudan, it began its final approach to runway 31, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 138 knots, and the aircraft touched down 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 130 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,044 meters, representing 43% of the runway length. Following a quick taxi to the parking area, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 1,785 nautical miles in 241 minutes, and consuming 10,602 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 31 at HJJJ Juba International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 138 kt. The aircraft's descent was controlled, and it made a smooth touchdown 84 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 130 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -175 fpm was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft to the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The absence of crosswind and headwind made the landing even more straightforward. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its ability to maintain a perfect runway rollout alignment, showcasing the pilot's expertise in controlling the aircraft's speed and direction during the critical phases of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,044 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision, earning a score of 99.8%. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to the centerline and maintain control throughout the landing phases was commendable, resulting in a safe and efficient touchdown on runway 31.
