MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 175 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 157 kt against a target of 175 kt, running 18 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 175 kt.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 3.8 ft, 7.4 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,289 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 241 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, where it began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 10L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 161 knots, clearing the ground at a distance of 1,585 meters, which was 40% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots at a direction of 50°, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Chicago, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 38,106 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 213 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 75 minutes and covered a distance of 2,821 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 39,000 feet to 40,931 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 563 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 40,999 feet to 3,000 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 221.0° at an altitude of 1,376 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 254 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,838 nautical miles, taking 136 minutes, and the aircraft used 41,416 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,376 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 254 meters was good, indicating a well-executed flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 134 knots was a little fast, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -433 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and coordination from the flight crew. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 1°C and a 5-knot headwind, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,284 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 97.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the flight crew.
