MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final to rejoin the glideslope, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The approach drifted above the glideslope, carrying the aircraft across the threshold at 92 ft against the 50 ft target. Crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown point long.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude against 50 ft on short final to confirm the glidepath is recaptured before the threshold.
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, sink rate 2,285 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.5° against the runway's 3°, wings 17° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 67 kt FAST on the reference speed of 135 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 3,171 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 712 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Learjet 35 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft used 1 650 m of runway, representing 51 % of the available length, and lifted off at 153 kt. Ambient conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 319°, resulting in a 6 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of CYYZ, with the jet ascending from 1 614 ft asl to 7 191 ft asl - a gain of 5 577 ft - in 4 minutes while covering 19 nm.
Level cruise began 3 miles north-west of Vaughan and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which 14 nm were flown.
The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 222.0°, at 3 nm from the threshold and 1 468 ft agl.
Landing was made on runway 23, whose total length is 3 236 m. The threshold height of 110 ft agl was noted as excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 131 kt was within expectations. Touchdown occurred 429 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 125 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 276 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 21 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 320°, giving a 6 kt cross-wind and zero head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 1 565 m, equivalent to 48 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was described as very good.
The rollout proceeded with very good alignment along the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a further 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 40 nm, required 15 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 124 kg of fuel.
