MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 9 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.8°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 24 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 24 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 24 ft to touchdown.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,532 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,532 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 826 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,253 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and winds of 8 knots at 109°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Tarnby in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,051 feet above sea level to 31,978 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,927 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles northwest of EKVE Gesten Glider Field Vejen in Region Syddanmark, Denmark. This cruise phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 317 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 15 miles northeast of Easington in East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 32,082 feet above sea level to 3,625 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,457 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Mossley in Borough of Tameside, England. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Hyde in Borough of Tameside, England. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,313 feet above sea level to 1,430 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,883 feet.
The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 231.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,197 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23R, which had a length of 2,434 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 160 knots. The touchdown point was 417 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 153 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -238 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 14°C and winds of 9 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,458 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.7 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 542 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 4,717 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 88.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,197 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 160 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 417 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 153 knots was faster than the desired speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied too much reverse thrust or failed to maintain a steady descent rate. However, the touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain some control over the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 9 knots from 190°, and a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the aircraft's ability to land safely.
The total landing distance of 1,458 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. This may be due to the aircraft's high touchdown speed and the fact that it landed beyond the touchdown zone. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by the pilot's failure to maintain a steady alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the high touchdown speed and the misaligned runway rollout. However, the pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height and a steady descent rate suggests that they were able to maintain control over the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
