MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 2.4 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 2.4 ft, but 136 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,039 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,039 m of the 3,084 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 831 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 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 04 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), with a takeoff distance of 750 meters, which was 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 59 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Edo Seaplane Base College Point (4NY2), where the aircraft climbed from 1,017 feet above sea level to 35,702 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,685 feet in 24 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead the Hopedale Industrial Park (1B6) in Massachusetts, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering 296 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 35,765 feet above sea level to 3,022 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,743 feet in 16 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles. This descent started 3 miles east of Digby in Nova Scotia, Canada.
The aircraft then leveled off 2 miles west of Lantz in Nova Scotia, Canada, and remained at that altitude for 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles east of Lantz, and the aircraft descended from 3,039 feet above sea level to 1,744 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,295 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ) was from the north-east, with a heading of 215.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which was 3,084 meters long. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 120 knots.
The touchdown point was 481 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -82 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,023 meters, which was 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 539 nautical miles, taking 1 hour and 2 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,247 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as RJ70, successfully landed at CYHZ Halifax / Stanfield International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 481 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 104 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 239°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 120 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,023 meters was 66% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing operations.
