MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 3.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 1.7° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 59 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 59 ft, 14 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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,059 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,059 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 910 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at Zürich Airport (LSZH). The takeoff distance was 1,481 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 269°. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 21-knot headwind. The aircraft climbed from 2,357 feet above sea level to 4,649 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,292 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its enroute descent from 5,111 feet above sea level to 4,503 feet above sea level, a decrease of 608 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles, before beginning another climb from 4,287 feet above sea level to 32,798 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,512 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at 32,798 feet above sea level for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles, before beginning its descent from 32,438 feet above sea level to 7,491 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,948 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent from 6,842 feet above sea level to 1,448 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,394 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport (EBBR) was made from the east, heading 253.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which has a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 490 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,974 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 328 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,480 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving an overall score of 87.3%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 253.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 490 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was a little below the target at 130 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 8.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,974 meters was 64% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively normal landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure proper alignment during future landings.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
