MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 113 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 226 fpm.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 622 m 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25L at WIII Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia. The takeoff distance was 1,243 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,043 feet above sea level to 38,854 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,811 feet in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 253 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles northwest of Purwodadi, Indonesia, and lasted for 69 minutes, covering a distance of 1,153 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 28 miles west of YPHU Port Hurd Airstrip on Bathurst Island, Australia. The descent from 38,696 feet above sea level to 1,385 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,311 feet in 16 minutes, covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at YPDN Darwin International Airport / RAAF Darwin was made from the east, heading 289.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown point 203 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,132 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 1,505 nautical miles, which was covered in 114 minutes, using 9,151 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at YPDN Darwin International Airport / RAAF Darwin, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 203 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute was only fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or other factors. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 19°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was negligible.
The total landing distance of 1,132 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
