MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 124 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 124 ft, 79 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,084 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 35L at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO) in Orlando, Florida. The takeoff distance was 853 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 23°C and winds of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the Orlando International Airport and continued for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 248 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,098 feet above sea level to 39,332 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,235 feet.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of the Beaufort MCAS - Merritt Field (KNBC) in Beaufort, South Carolina. This phase lasted for 136 minutes and covered a distance of 973 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 16 miles northwest of the Brier Island Airstrip (CYYA) in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. The descent from 38,786 feet above sea level to 3,026 feet above sea level took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Lantz, Nova Scotia, Canada. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles east of Lantz. The descent from 2,931 feet above sea level to 1,748 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at the Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ) was made from the northeast, heading 215.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 3,084 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C and winds of 12 knots at 227°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,047 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,371 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 174 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,505 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ) with a score of 96.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 3,084 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 140 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal but still within a safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 130 kt was reported as a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher speed than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 6°C, wind speed of 12 kt at 227°, with a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 12 kt. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilots were able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,047 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a straight path after touchdown and avoid any deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a safe stop on the runway.
