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 9.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold approach power to keep the threshold speed at 116 kt instead of letting it decay below it.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 20 ft while already below VREF at 115 kt, and the aircraft settled as the speed ran out - this pattern usually carries through to a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 116 kt on short final.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,528 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,528 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,401 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at Colonel James Jabara Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,499 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 96°F temperature and a wind of 18 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and reached an altitude of 48,561 feet above sea level, an increase of 46,135 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Maize, Kansas, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 240 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles east of Burlington, Colorado, and descended from 48,355 feet to 23,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,968 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles north of CD13 Morris Airport Deer Trail, Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 12 miles south of Fort Morgan, Colorado, and descended from 22,407 feet to 12,548 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,859 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead CO70 Uhrich Airport Greeley, Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles northeast of 03CO Kugel-Strong Airport Platteville, Colorado, and descended from 11,974 feet to 6,964 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,010 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at Denver International Airport was made from the north, heading 175.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,588 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16L, which was 12,040 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 116 knots.
The touchdown point was 2,011 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 131 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 93°F temperature and a wind of 11 knots at 80°, with a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,237 feet, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 129 feet from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 412 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used 4,861 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 16L, achieving a score of 72.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,588 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 2,011 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -106 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 131 feet from the centreline, indicating a deviation from the ideal landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 93°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 6,237 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 129 feet from the centreline, further highlighting the deviation from the ideal landing path.
Overall, while the landing was successful in terms of speed and touchdown rate, the excessive misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the runway rollout alignment indicate areas for improvement in the aircraft's approach and landing technique.
