MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 179 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 34 kt fast at 213 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 179 kt in the climb
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 61 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 61 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 822 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 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 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 822 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just 5 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 31, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 177 kt, clearing the 1,862-meter takeoff distance in just 58% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle tailwind of 4 kt, contributed to a seamless takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,082 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 38,331 feet in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 38,262 feet to 38,899 feet, before entering another level cruise phase that lasted for 66 minutes and covered 490 nautical miles. The descent phase began as the aircraft approached its destination, with a gradual decrease in altitude from 38,879 feet to 1,988 feet in 40 minutes, covering 217 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 22 at London Stansted Airport, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt and a touchdown rate of -227 fpm. Although the touchdown point was slightly beyond the touchdown zone, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, covering 46% of the available runway length. After a 5-minute taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,000 nautical miles, using 6,148 kg of fuel in the process.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport, completing a final approach from the north east. The aircraft was established on the localizer at 4 nm and 1,255 ft above ground level, heading 223.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 138 kt, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 61 ft agl was above the desired level.
The touchdown point was located 399 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -227 fpm was fair, indicating a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 320°, contributed to the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,387 m was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.6%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
