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 50 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 140 kt over the threshold.
What happened: Threshold speed was 19 kt slow at 121 kt, and the flare began late at 1.1 ft, well below the normal band. Crossing slow and flaring late like this usually leaves little energy and time to check the sink, and the touchdown then comes in firm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at the threshold
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,223 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,223 ft of the 9,296 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 148 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.28 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at KMEM Memphis International Airport in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 36L, the aircraft used 7,913 ft of runway, representing 85 % of the available length, and lifted off at 160 kt. Local conditions were a temperature of 71 °F, wind from 133° at 2 kt, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The initial climb began 1 mile northwest of KMEM, climbing from 1,218 ft asl to 33,995 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,777 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 99 nm.
Level cruise commenced 4 miles southeast of Lonoke, Arkansas, and lasted 15 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 106 nm.
A second climb started 5 miles northeast of Dierks, Arkansas, raising the aircraft from 34,001 ft asl to 34,534 ft asl, a gain of 534 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 10 nm.
Descent began 6 miles west of Dierks, descending from 34,387 ft asl to 2,368 ft asl, a loss of 32,019 ft in 44 minutes while covering 199 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead 52F Northwest Regl Roanoke, Texas, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 13R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport reduced altitude from 1,364 ft agl to 137 ft agl in 110 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 13R, which is 9,296 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 121 kt, a touchdown distance of 150 ft, and a touchdown speed of 121 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 768 fpm and the touchdown point was 19 ft off centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 83 °F, wind from 194° at 4 kt, a 4 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 4,942 ft, representing 53 % of the runway.
During rollout the aircraft travelled the 4,942 ft landing distance and was observed to be 49 ft off the centreline at the end of the roll.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 9 minutes, covering another 2 nm.
In total the flight covered 433 nm, required 100 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 9,027 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 executed a stabilised approach to runway 13R at KDFW, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. The aircraft descended from 1,364 ft agl to 137 ft agl in 110 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 121 kt, noted as a little below target. The touchdown point was 150 ft from the runway threshold and the touchdown speed remained at 121 kt, both recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred with a very heavy rate of descent measured at minus 768 fpm, and the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 4,942 ft, representing 53 % of the 9,296 ft runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, drifting 49 ft from the centreline before exiting the runway. Weather conditions were 83 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 194°, comprising a 4 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
To reduce the heavy sink rate, refine the flare timing to achieve a softer touchdown while preserving the current speed and threshold performance. Improving centreline tracking during rollout will tighten the final alignment and further optimise runway usage.
