MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 20 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 20 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 20 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 30 ft touchdown sits inside 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 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,146 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, rising from an altitude of 5,514 feet above sea level to 39,017 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Dubois, Idaho. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 418 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 7 miles east of Dammeron Valley, Utah, and involved a decrease in altitude from 39,161 feet above sea level to 3,348 feet above sea level in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270° at an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 26L, which had a length of 10,506 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 123 knots.
The touchdown distance was 22 feet, which was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,731 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 634 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 119 minutes. The aircraft used 8,779 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 123 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was still within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,731 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the final approach and landing phases.
