MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 149 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,508 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,709 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A C750 aircraft departed from RPLI Laoag International Airport, taxiing for 4 minutes to reach the runway. The takeoff roll began on runway 01, covering only 33% of the runway's length, and the aircraft lifted off at 149 knots. The local weather conditions during takeoff included a temperature of 81°F and winds of 6 knots at 90 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 6 knots.
After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb at an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 44,544 feet in 17 minutes while covering 115 nautical miles. Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered a level cruise, lasting 53 minutes and covering 459 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, a descent phase began approximately 107 miles southeast of Sanya, China, where it descended from 44,574 feet to 9,178 feet in 16 minutes while covering 115 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 25 miles northeast of ZC02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN76, lasting 7 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 22 miles east of VVPB Phu Bai International Airport in Huế, Vietnam, where the aircraft descended from 9,173 feet to 1,054 feet in 10 minutes while covering 24 nautical miles. During the final approach to runway 17L at VVDN Da Nang International Airport, the aircraft was heading towards the north at 4 nautical miles and 1,023 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 17L, which had a length of 11,508 feet. The threshold height was excessively above target, but the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 115 knots. The touchdown point was 1,092 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft landed at a speed of 106 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 15 feet.
The aircraft utilized 3,449 pounds of fuel for the flight, which covered a total distance of 755 nautical miles. After landing, taxing from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at VVDN Da Nang International Airport, achieving a score of 77.3%. This assessment highlights areas of improvement for the pilot to make more precise landings in the future.
The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading directly towards the threshold at a distance of 4 nautical miles. At an altitude of 1,023 feet Above Ground Level (agl), this indicated proper control and navigation during the final approach phase. However, the landing's threshold height resulted in a score of over target, suggesting adjustments in the descent process might be necessary.
Upon touching down on the runway, the aircraft maintained a good speed of 115 knots at threshold speed. However, touchdown speed was slightly lower than desired at 106 knots, still meeting the criteria for a safe landing. The touchdown rate of -426 feet per minute (fpm) indicates the aircraft hit the ground with a force that can be considered excessive, signifying an area of potential improvement for the pilot to soften the landing.
A closer look at the touchdown points and runway alignment shows that the aircraft landed 1,092 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and its touch down point was slightly off from the centreline by 15 feet. While this misalignment is minor and still within the runway boundaries, it does demonstrate the need for more precise control and alignment during the landings.
The total landing distance of 3,766 feet accounts for approximately 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively normal distance for an aircraft of its size. The subsequent rollout phase also experienced an alignment issue by 27 feet from the centreline, suggesting more attention to control might be needed to achieve more precise centreline adherence during landing rollout.
