MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 56 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 56 ft, 11 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,973 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,973 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 830 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08L at OJAI Queen Alia International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,615 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of OJAI Queen Alia International Airport. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,379 feet above sea level to 30,307 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,928 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 41 miles southeast of OS68 Saiqal Air Base Saiqal in Syria. This phase lasted for 235 minutes and covered a distance of 1,728 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Greven in Germany. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 29,776 feet above sea level to 1,274 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,501 feet.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,527 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -219 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 210 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,885 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 1,975 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 300 minutes. The aircraft used 14,218 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 91.0%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with a heading of 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 58 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 141 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. This suggests that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,885 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal loss of speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.0%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and distance, the aircraft's performance was generally satisfactory, and the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently.
