MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 50 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 50 ft, 5.5 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 336 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed 73 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 29 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,287 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 from Hannover Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey on runway 27R, taking off with a liftoff speed of 140 kt after a 1,306 m takeoff distance, which covered 41% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 5 kt at 190°, with a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it covered a distance of 124 nm in 21 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,179 ft to 30,000 ft. The climb phase started 1 mile west of Hannover Airport and continued until 1 mile south of Luebow, where the aircraft transitioned into a 19-minute level cruise, covering an additional 142 nm. The descent phase began 2 miles west of Gilleleje, where the aircraft decreased its altitude from 29,592 ft to 1,748 ft in 20 minutes, covering 119 nm. The final approach to runway 21 at Göteborg Landvetter Airport was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 206.0° at 4 nm and 1,245 ft above ground level.
The RJ85 landed on runway 21 with a touchdown speed of 105 kt, slightly below the target threshold speed of 111 kt. The touchdown distance was 252 m, and the touchdown rate was -300 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 892 m, covering 27% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 5 minutes. The total flight distance was 392 nm, and the flight duration was 72 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,446 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport with a satisfactory threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 111 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 252 m was good, indicating a well-controlled descent and a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 105 kt was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy during the landing.
The touchdown rate of -300 fpm was fair, suggesting a slight over-rotation, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a light headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable approach and a smooth touchdown. The crosswind component of 1 kt had a minimal impact on the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain control and precision.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft remaining perfectly aligned with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 892 m, which accounted for 27% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered excellent, with a score of 98.4% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The landing demonstrated a high level of proficiency and a strong understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics.
