MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 146 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 665 ft 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10L at ULLI Pulkovo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,949 feet, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 75°F, a wind speed of 5 knots at 4°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Shushary, Russia, and reached an altitude of 43,369 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,271 feet from the initial altitude of 1,097 feet. This climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles east of Triigi, Estonia, and lasted for 78 minutes, covering a distance of 1,295 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles northeast of Dingle, Ireland, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 43,748 feet to 2,303 feet, a decrease of 41,445 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise 4 miles east of Gort, Ireland, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at EINN Shannon Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 232.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 666 feet, which was 34% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 119 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -311 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66°F, a wind speed of 15 knots at 218°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 3,445 feet, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,520 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 6,054 pounds.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at EINN Shannon Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision as it descended onto runway 24, which has a length of 10,000 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 124 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 666 feet was also within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firmer touchdown rate of -311 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly faster touchdown speed, the aircraft maintained excellent runway alignment, with a very good touchdown alignment on the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a headwind of 15 knots at 218°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 3,445 feet was 34% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
