MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 81 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,060 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,561 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Sacramento International Airport (KSMF), where the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 20 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The departure roll commenced on runway 17L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 139 knots after a takeoff distance of 2,606 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F.
As the aircraft climbed out of Sacramento, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of the airport, reaching an altitude of 18,794 feet above sea level (asl) after a vertical ascent of 17,832 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned through various phases of flight, including level cruise, descent, and climb, before commencing its final approach to runway 28L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The local weather conditions at the time of landing were marked by a temperature of 57°F, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 278°.
The final approach to runway 28L was executed from the southeast, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 102 knots and a distance of 1,555 feet, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute, while the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,440 feet, accounting for 22% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 184 nautical miles, with a flight time of 52 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3 pounds.
The aircraft, C750, initiated its final approach to runway 28L at KSFO San Francisco International Airport from the south east, aligning with the runway at 299.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 464 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height significantly above the target at 81 ft agl. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 110 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated good touchdown characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 1,555 ft and a touchdown speed of 102 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -298 fpm was fair, indicating a slight impact on the aircraft's deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind of 17 kt at 278°, contributed to a relatively stable approach and landing.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-controlled, with perfect alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 2,440 ft, which accounted for 22% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 84.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and landing parameters, the aircraft's touchdown characteristics and rollout alignment were commendable.
