MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 36 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 36 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 36 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,481 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,866 ft 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 4,770 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 76°F and winds of 2 knots at 19°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 964 feet above sea level to 34,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,032 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles southeast of the San Andros Airport on Andros Island in the Bahamas. This phase of the flight lasted 138 minutes and covered a distance of 1,031 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 101 miles southwest of Petites Anses in Guadeloupe, and the aircraft descended from 34,454 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,160 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Hewanorra International Airport (TLPL) was made from the west, heading 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown point 502 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -190 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 81°F and winds of 6 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,152 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,312 nautical miles and used 18,076 pounds of fuel. The flight duration was 200 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hewanorra International Airport, located in Saint Lucia, on runway 10. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 89.0° at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 502 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was also within acceptable limits at -190 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 10 feet off the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 100°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a significant headwind component of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,152 feet, which accounted for approximately 49% of the runway length.
Despite the slight deviation in the touchdown position, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.5%.
