MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 17° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,905 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,770 ft 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, LSGG, with a takeoff distance of 2,959 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 39°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ferney-Voltaire in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,330 feet above sea level to 33,737 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,407 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Rouvres-en-Plaine in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of Baigneux-les-Juifs in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 33,851 feet above sea level to 7,142 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,709 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Beauchery-Saint-Martin in Ile-de-France, France. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Joinville-le-Pont in Ile-de-France, France. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 6,846 feet above sea level to 1,211 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,636 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at Paris-Le Bourget Airport, LFPB, was made from the southwest, heading 68.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,045 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 5,905 feet. The threshold height at 134 feet above ground level was excessively over target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 131 knots.
The touchdown point was 339 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -604 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,679 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 234 nautical miles, and the flight took 61 minutes, using 1,781 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 07 at LFPB Paris-Le Bourget Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 68.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,045 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 339 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -604 feet per minute (fpm), which is a significant deceleration. This heavy touchdown rate may have been caused by the pilot's attempt to slow down the aircraft quickly, possibly due to the excessive height at the threshold. The threshold height at 134 feet agl was significantly above the target height, which may have contributed to the pilot's decision to touch down at a higher speed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have helped to slow down the aircraft during the final approach.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground, and the runway rollout alignment was good. However, the heavy touchdown rate and slight deviation from the touchdown zone indicate that there is room for improvement in the pilot's landing technique.
