MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 2,034 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,467 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,034 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that required 13 minutes and covered 6 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 03 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport, the aircraft used 4,804 ft of runway, representing 48 % of the available length, and achieved a liftoff speed of 93 kt. Ambient conditions were 58 °F with a wind of 6 kt from 10°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead KABQ, with the airplane ascending from 6,052 ft asl to 28,006 ft asl, a gain of 21,954 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 63 nm.
The first cruise segment began 9 miles south-west of Skyline-Ganipa, New Mexico, and persisted for 32 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 149 nm.
Descent started 10 miles south-west of AZ82 Mogollon Airpark Overgaard, Arizona, with altitude decreasing from 28,008 ft asl to 13,323 ft asl, a loss of 14,684 ft in 10 minutes over a distance of 50 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiating 9 miles west of Tonto Basin, Arizona, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The subsequent descent began 5 miles north-east of 0AS0 Sycamore Creek, Arizona, with the aircraft descending from 14,177 ft asl to 2,649 ft asl, a reduction of 11,527 ft in 10 minutes while traveling 34 nm.
Final approach to runway 26 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport involved a descent from 1,571 ft agl to 69 ft agl in 131 seconds, and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 26 at KPHX was executed with a runway length of 11,467 ft; the threshold height at 57 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was 85 kt. Touchdown occurred 595 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 67 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 55 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 75 °F, wind 5 kt from 150°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind. The total landing distance measured 3,420 ft, representing 30 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 314 nm, took 87 minutes, and consumed 564 lb of fuel.
The approach to runway 26 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,571 ft agl to 69 ft agl in 131 seconds under a temperature of 75 °F, wind 5 kt from 150°, cross-wind 5 kt and tail-wind 3 kt.
At the threshold the height was 57 ft agl, slightly above target, while the threshold speed was good at 85 kt.
Touchdown occurred 595 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 67 kt, which was good, and a touchdown rate of minus 55 fpm, rated excellent. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 3,420 ft, representing 30 % of the 11,467 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Minor refinements should focus on achieving the target threshold height and reducing the touchdown point distance to bring the landing closer to the designated touchdown zone, which will further optimise landing distance and runway utilisation.
