MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
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 166 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 534 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 23, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 956 meters, which equated to 38% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 7 knots from 210°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Agua de Pena, Madeira, Portugal, and began its enroute climb, which covered a vertical distance of 37,601 feet in 44 minutes and a horizontal distance of 371 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 114 minutes and covered a distance of 954 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated at a latitude of 37.6598461 and a longitude of -12.6954664. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started overhead Crillon, Hauts-de-France, France, and ended with a descent from 38,667 feet to 1,236 feet above sea level in 29 minutes and a horizontal distance of 200 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, it aligned itself with runway 06 from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 138 knots, and the touchdown point was 278 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,074 meters, which equated to 34% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,533 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 196 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8,787 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a smooth touchdown rate of -111 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 126 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target at 138 kt, suggesting a slight overcorrection during the approach. The touchdown point was 278 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.
The approach quality was good, with a heading of 58.0° at 4 nm and 1,234 ft above ground level. The runway length of 3,191 m provided ample space for the aircraft to decelerate and come to a stop. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 40°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 98.4%. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The total landing distance of 1,074 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience.
