MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 23 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 19 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 19 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 19 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,886 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,886 ft of the 9,778 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,380 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 3,970 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 35,773 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,749 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 10 miles west of Marco Island, Florida, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of 419 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 24 miles southeast of the E-8 Tank Battery Seaplane Base in Venice, Louisiana. The descent from 36,197 feet above sea level to 1,211 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,986 feet in 29 minutes, covered a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY) was made from the west, heading 106.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,194 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 11 was successful, with the touchdown point being 1,031 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 139 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,637 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 623 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 113 minutes. The aircraft used 10,207 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,194 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,031 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 90°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway length at KMSY is 9,778 feet, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 5,637 feet was 58% of the available 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 in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and distance from the touchdown zone.
