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 20°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 251 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 245 fpm.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,378 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,378 ft of the 9,003 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,914 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Embraer E190 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 05 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, United States.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots (kt) and covered a distance of 4,613 feet, which was 64% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 23 kt at 20°.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of KPVD. The climb phase involved a significant increase in altitude, from 809 feet above sea level (asl) to 33,402 ft asl, over a distance of 114 nm and a duration of 19 minutes. This was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 193 nm.
The aircraft then entered another climb phase, which started 17 miles southeast of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada. This climb phase was shorter, lasting only 3 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nm, and resulted in an increase in altitude from 33,554 ft asl to 35,325 ft asl.
The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, which started 25 miles southeast of CYAU Liverpool South Shore Regional Airport in Greenfield, Nova Scotia, Canada. This phase lasted for 310 minutes and covered a distance of 2,509 nm.
The aircraft then entered another climb phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Shalbourne, Wiltshire, England. This climb phase was brief, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nm, and resulted in an increase in altitude from 35,275 ft asl to 36,144 ft asl.
The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles west of Highclere, Hampshire, England. The descent phase involved a significant decrease in altitude, from 35,653 ft asl to 9,371 ft asl, over a distance of 22 nm and a duration of 5 minutes.
The aircraft then entered a series of level cruise phases, which took place over various locations in England, including Finchampstead, Crowthorne, Ascot, Windlesham, Virginia Water, Addlestone, Hampton, Newgate Street, Braughing, Broxbourne, Epping, and Old Harlow. These phases were characterized by relatively short durations and distances.
The final approach to runway 04 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 35.0° and an altitude of 786 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 9,003 feet long, and the touchdown point was 1,528 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 kt, which was faster than the threshold speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute (fpm).
The total landing distance was 6,092 feet, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 2,950 nm, and the flight duration was 400 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 30,022 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at London Stansted Airport, achieving a score of 87.1%. The final approach to runway 04 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 35.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 786 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,528 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also higher than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain some control over the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance of 6,092 feet was 68% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to fully utilize the available runway length, potentially due to the high touchdown speed or the distance beyond the touchdown zone.
Despite these issues, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to safely bring the aircraft to a stop, and the aircraft's systems and controls performed as expected.
