MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold 2.3° of bank out of the climb.
What happened: The pilot held 2.3° of bank during the climb out, and excess bank like this usually carries a heading drift into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator and heading bug, keeping bank near wings level so heading holds steady.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 11 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 11 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 11 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,119 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Bonanza G36, then departed from runway 21 at EGFE Haverfordwest Airport. The takeoff distance was 246 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 26 knots at 172 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Crundale, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and ascended from 467 feet above sea level to 8,486 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,019 feet in 8 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles west of Saint Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 10 miles west of Saint Davids, climbing from 8,931 feet above sea level to 11,549 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,618 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 18 miles west of Saint Davids and lasted 7 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 20 miles south east of Kilmore Quay, Leinster, Ireland, climbing from 11,882 feet above sea level to 13,573 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,691 feet in 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 16 miles south east of Kilmore Quay and lasted 14 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles south east of Ring, Munster, Ireland, descending from 13,686 feet above sea level to 4,281 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,406 feet in 11 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north west of Youghal, Munster, Ireland, and lasted 14 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 1 mile south of Doneraile, Munster, Ireland, climbing from 4,523 feet above sea level to 5,926 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,403 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Mallow, Munster, Ireland, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south east of Bweeng, Munster, Ireland, descending from 5,757 feet above sea level to 2,116 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,642 feet in 5 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at EICK Cork Airport was made from the north, heading 168.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,621 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16 was successful, with the touchdown point being 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 159 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,621 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 79 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make a smoother landing by reducing the speed slightly. However, the touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 159°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a moderate headwind of 5 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 884 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
