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 152 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 raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport, the aircraft began its journey on runway 14R, where it accelerated down the 1,608-meter stretch, utilizing 58% of the available runway, before lifting off at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 110°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of Riverton, Washington. The aircraft successfully ascended from an initial altitude of 991 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,303 feet, a vertical gain of 34,312 feet, in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed, which began 10 miles west of Cohassett Beach, Washington, lasted for 306 minutes and spanned a distance of 2,171 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent, which started 28 miles northeast of PHHN Hana Airport, Hana, Hawaii, and involved a descent from 35,003 feet to 1,386 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,617 feet, in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole was conducted from the north, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,334 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 402 meters, which was 43% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 260°. The total landing distance was 1,433 meters, and the aircraft came to a stop with perfect runway rollout alignment. The total flight distance was 2,371 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,429 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 353 minutes.
The final approach to runway 17 at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole from the north was executed with a heading of 185.0° at 4 nm and 1,334 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 68 ft agl, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 123 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The aircraft touched down at a distance of 402 m, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 120 kt was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -504 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,433 m was 43% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 91.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and rate, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
