MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 179 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 156 kt against a target of 179 kt, running 23 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 179 kt.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 1,500 ft instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 345 ft past the target, landing at 1,845 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 1,500 ft from the threshold.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 6,760 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,760 ft of the 9,009 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,845 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 04L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 04L, using 3,269 ft of runway (39 % of the available length) and lifted off at 150 kt; local conditions were 65 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 060°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Enroute climb began 1 mile southeast of Newark, climbing from 1,009 ft asl to 30,000 ft asl-a gain of 28,991 ft-in 18 minutes while covering 109 nm.
The first level cruise segment started overhead PN39 Exton Heliport, Exton, Pennsylvania, and lasted 3 minutes, during which 22 nm were flown.
A second climb segment initiated 1 mile northeast of Bel Air South, Maryland, rising from 29,999 ft asl to 33,995 ft asl, an increase of 3,995 ft in 5 minutes over a distance of 33 nm.
The next cruise phase began 1 mile south of Savage, Maryland, and continued for 28 minutes, covering 194 nm at level flight.
Descent commenced 4 miles north of 4VA1 Davis Field, Martinsville, Virginia, descending from 34,006 ft asl to 2,013 ft asl-a loss of 31,993 ft-in 25 minutes while traveling 133 nm.
During the final approach to runway 36L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,280 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 97 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36L, which is 9,009 ft long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 146 kt. Touchdown occurred 491 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 103 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 66 °F, wind 3 kt from 320°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 6,507 ft, representing 72 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 501 nm, required 97 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 9,248 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) with a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,324 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 04, which has a length of 10,998 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 165 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway.
However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -662 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was touching down slightly too aggressively. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 359°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 2,859 feet was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
