MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 41°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 92 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 92 ft, 47 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,226 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,226 ft of the 9,200 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,682 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The MiG-25PD_08 took off from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 4,079 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 174 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 80°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile southeast of Chelsea, Massachusetts. The climb took place from an altitude of 794 feet above sea level to 879 feet, resulting in an increase of 86 feet in just 1 minute. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started overhead South Boston and lasted for 3 minutes, covering another 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 315.0° at an altitude of 112 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 9,200 feet, and the threshold height was slightly above the target. The threshold speed was 181 knots.
The touchdown point was located 1,358 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 166 knots. The touchdown rate was good, with a rate of -193 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 279°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,002 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the MiG-25PD_08 completed a successful flight, covering a total distance of 8 nautical miles and using -10 pounds of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing, with perfect runway touchdown alignment and a good touchdown rate.
The MiG-25PD_08 aircraft successfully landed on runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 89.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at an altitude of 112 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
As the aircraft descended towards the runway, it maintained a perfect alignment with the runway, ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown. The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The threshold speed of 181 knots was also met, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
The touchdown point was 1,358 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 166 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75°F and winds of 11 knots at 279°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, resulting in a net headwind of 3 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled approach, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance of 5,002 feet was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for rollout and that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored 89.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
