MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 163 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Use small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout, keeping the wings level with gentle aileron.
What happened: The aircraft rolled out on landing with 2.3° of bank angle.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and hold the wings level through the rollout.
See Arrival Landing
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,783 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 250 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Van Ferit Melen Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 03, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,277 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C.
As the aircraft climbed out of Van, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the city. The crew successfully guided the aircraft through a significant altitude increase of 32,540 feet, from 6,464 feet above sea level to 39,004 feet, in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 264 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 16 miles southeast of Horadiz, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 139 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,192 nautical miles. The crew then initiated the enroute descent phase, which started 17 miles west of Kaindy, Kyrgyzstan, and involved a descent from 38,565 feet to 8,208 feet in 18 minutes, covering 135 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at 2 miles east of Balykchy, Kyrgyzstan, for a brief 2-minute cruise, before beginning its final descent.
As the aircraft approached Issyk-Kul Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 07 from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,319 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 251 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 120 knots, but the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.4 meters. The total landing distance was 835 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,614 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 8,408 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 203 minutes.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 07 at UCFL Issyk-Kul with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. The threshold speed of 124 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 251 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 120 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -259 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 3 kt. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a headwind of 1 kt, were generally favourable for the landing. The total landing distance of 835 m, which accounted for 22% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.5% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal performance.
