MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during 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 68 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 68 ft, 23 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m 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 to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01R at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 1,329 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was also 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Paradise, Nevada, and the aircraft ascended from 3,172 feet above sea level to 35,061 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,889 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles north of the Grand Canyon Bar Ten Airstrip (1Z1) in Arizona and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 263 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 13 miles south of the Pinyon Airport (CO43) in Colorado, descending from 34,664 feet above sea level to 14,115 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,550 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 11 miles northeast of Woody Creek, Colorado, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 8 miles southeast of the Goldys Field (CO47) in Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 14,052 feet above sea level to 9,046 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,006 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (KASE) was made from the north, heading 160.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,340 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 2,135 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 339 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -9°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,315 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 487 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 3,706 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) with a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, heading 160.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,340 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters, which could have been a result of the crosswind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -9°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's total landing distance of 1,315 meters was only 62% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and were able to align the aircraft with the runway centreline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
