MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Add power on final to cross the threshold at 92 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 10 kt below the 92 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 3.7° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 92 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,420 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 6.6° against the runway's 3° and centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,915 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 324 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Departing from runway 19 at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport, the take-off roll measured 808 m, representing 25 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 88 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of the airport, where the aircraft rose from 972 ft asl to 12 262 ft asl, an altitude gain of 11 291 ft. The ascent was completed in 7 minutes while covering 18 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began 1 mile south-east of Kelibia and lasted 6 minutes, during which 24 nm were flown.
Descent phase one started 5 miles south-west of Korbous, with the aircraft descending from 12 268 ft asl to 3 926 ft asl, a loss of 8 343 ft. This segment took 8 minutes and spanned 36 nm.
A second cruise interval was initiated 17 miles east of Kelibia, persisting for 7 minutes and covering 23 nm at level flight.
The next descent began 12 miles east of Kelibia, dropping from 3 272 ft asl to 2 005 ft asl, a reduction of 1 267 ft. The maneuver lasted 2 minutes and encompassed 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 08 at LICG Pantelleria Airport involved a descent from 1 544 ft agl to 243 ft agl in 66 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 08 was executed with a threshold speed of 82 kt, slightly below the target. Touchdown occurred 324 m down the runway at 67 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 319 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing distance recorded was 949 m, equivalent to 50 % of the runway, and the rollout maintained perfect alignment.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 113 nm, required 41 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 112 kg of fuel.
