MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 79 m 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 27 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 17 at the Roswell Air Center Airport, with a takeoff distance of 912 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Roswell Air Center Airport, where it climbed from 4,621 feet above sea level to 7,397 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,776 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southwest of the Roswell Air Center Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 4 miles southwest of the Jenkins Airport, where it climbed from 8,315 feet above sea level to 16,853 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,537 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 16 miles northeast of Midway, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 325 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south of Minco, where it descended from 16,983 feet above sea level to 3,679 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,304 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles northwest of Del City, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 2 miles west of Meeker, where it descended from 2,762 feet above sea level to 1,598 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,164 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at the Shawnee Regional Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 521 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 1,709 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 80 meters, but the touchdown speed of 126 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,094 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 190 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 882 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 424 nautical miles, which was covered in 87 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,451 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KSNL Shawnee Regional Airport, achieving a score of 89.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 521 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 1,709 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 126 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. The touchdown distance of 80 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was reported as fast, which may indicate that the aircraft was not fully slowed down before touching down. The touchdown rate of -1,094 feet per minute (fpm) was classified as very heavy, which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing a high rate of descent at the moment of touchdown. However, the runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance of 882 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and alignment, despite some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown speeds.
