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 13°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 500 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 10,553 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,159 ft touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 29 at PADQ Kodiak Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,848 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 135 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 299°. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 16-knot headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of PADQ Kodiak Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,080 feet above sea level to 35,602 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,522 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of KPR Port Williams Seaplane Base and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles northwest of Seldovia, and descended from an altitude of 35,839 feet above sea level to 3,227 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,611 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles east of PABG Beluga Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of 6AK5 Fire Island Airport, and descended from an altitude of 2,664 feet above sea level to 1,430 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,235 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0°, at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 07L, which had a length of 10,553 feet. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,163 feet, but the touchdown speed at 112 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -475 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 209°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 2,870 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 230 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,769 pounds.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 07L at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 55 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was good at 116 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 1,163 feet, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 112 knots, the overall landing performance was impressive. The touchdown rate was a bit hard at -475 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the aircraft's speed at the moment of touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 2,870 feet was within 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 was impressive, with a score of 97.3% reflecting the pilot's skill and experience. The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, and the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent was evident throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
