MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 43 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 43 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 43 ft to touchdown.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,210 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 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 approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10 at FLKK Lusaka International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,444 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of FLLS Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, Lusaka, and ascended from 4,744 feet above sea level to 37,766 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,022 feet, in 53 minutes and covering 334 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 31 miles southeast of Plumtree, Zimbabwe, and lasted for 111 minutes, covering 844 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 20 miles northwest of FAFI Ceres Airport, South Africa, and descended from 37,505 feet above sea level to 3,433 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,072 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 75 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a brief level cruise 2 miles northeast of FASP Morningstar Sunset Beach, South Africa, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at FACT Cape Town International Airport was made from the north, heading 166.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,365 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 90 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 960 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,271 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 185 minutes. The aircraft used 8,196 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,365 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown point was located 90 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 960 meters was only 30% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight and level path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
