MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 76 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 76 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 546 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,529 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,529 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it started its departure roll on runway 22R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 140 knots. The takeoff distance of 941 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 3 miles west of Dragor, Denmark, rising from 998 feet above sea level to 36,634 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising level in a relatively short period. The enroute level cruise phase was interspersed with several descent and climb phases, with the aircraft descending from 36,997 feet to 28,480 feet in 5 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 28,520 feet to 3,090 feet in 11 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-700 finally began its final approach to runway 24L at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, descending from 3,090 feet to 76 feet above ground level in a smooth and controlled manner. The touchdown point was 131 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -320 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance of 1,449 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 231 nautical miles, with a flight time of 52 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,005 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach. The aircraft descended from 1,316 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 249.0°. The approach quality was characterized by a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 132 knots, slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 131 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -320 feet per minute. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and coordination between the pilots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the centerline, showcasing the pilots' ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,449 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, earning a score of 88.8%.
