MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 35 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 35 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 35 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,625 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,625 m of the 2,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport in Austria. The takeoff distance was 1,053 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 179°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead LOWI Innsbruck Airport and ascending from 2,902 feet above sea level to 28,955 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,052 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south west of Schoenau am Koenigssee in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles south of Frankenfels in Niederoesterreich, Austria, and descending from 28,947 feet above sea level to 7,100 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,847 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise was restarted 1 mile east of LHHL Halaszi Airport in Halaszi, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles north east of Asvanyraro in Gyor-Moson-Sopron megye, Hungary, and descending from 6,772 feet above sea level to 1,708 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,064 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport in Bratislava, Slovakia, was made from the south east, heading 314.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -93 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 °C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. 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 281 nautical miles, taking 59 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,444 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, achieving a high score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely and with minimal deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and with minimal deviation from the centerline. The high score achieved by the aircraft is a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots involved in the landing.
