MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,321 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,321 m of the 3,655 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 721 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E175, then departed from runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,225 meters, which was 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 158 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching a height of 33,090 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,310 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southwest of D55 Robertson Langdon in North Dakota, United States. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 482 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 14 miles northwest of Sidney in Nebraska, United States. The descent took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft decreased its height from 33,845 feet to 6,550 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Denver International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,186 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,655 meters, and the threshold height was above the target. However, the threshold speed was too high at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 319 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was also too fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 360 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 2,254 meters, which was 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 682 nautical miles, taking 55 minutes, and used 2,533 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.8%. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,186 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 319 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was also higher than the desired speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied too much thrust or not enough reverse thrust during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway length of 3,655 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 2,254 meters, which accounted for 62% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft, and the aircraft landed safely within the designated runway area. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown zone accuracy.
