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 6.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 4.9° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,938 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,938 m of the 3,246 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,287 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Trabzon International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 14 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 11, utilizing 42% of the 1,107-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 150 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 123 nautical miles in 18 minutes, ascending from 1,107 feet above sea level to 33,992 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a 53-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 388 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of enroute descents and climbs, with the aircraft descending from 33,682 feet to 3,882 feet in 26 minutes, and then climbing from 3,874 feet to 5,359 feet in 2 minutes. The final approach to runway 34R at Adnan Menderes International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft touching down 875 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 125 kt. The total landing distance was 1,861 meters, accounting for 57% of the 3,246-meter runway.
The flight concluded with a taxiing period of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 734 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 122 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,275 kilograms. The landing rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.1 meters from the centerline, and the touchdown rate was fair at -241 feet per minute.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 34R at LTBJ Adnan Menderes International Airport, with a threshold speed of 143 kt, meeting the target. However, the aircraft landed 875 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly longer than ideal touchdown distance. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -241 fpm was only fair, suggesting a slightly higher than desired impact.
The approach quality was compromised by a threshold height of 68 ft agl, which was above the target. Despite this, the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a 10 kt tailwind, may have contributed to the slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.1 m from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,861 m was 57% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the misalignment of the touchdown and rollout positions from the centreline was a notable issue, suggesting that the pilot may have been affected by the crosswind or tailwind conditions. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 77.5%, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach quality and touchdown alignment.
