MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
Next time
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 20 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 20 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 20 ft to touchdown.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 137 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 157 kt, 20 kt past the 137 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,777 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,777 m of the 2,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 339 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from runway 10L at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, the aircraft taxied from the parking position for 14 minutes, covering 3 nm before the takeoff roll. The takeoff distance was 1,454 m, representing 57 % of the available runway, and liftoff speed reached 158 kt. The departure weather featured a temperature of 34 °C, a 9-kt wind from 130°, with a crosswind component of 6 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.
The climb phase began immediately after departure, rising from 1,009 ft to 38,116 ft over 14 minutes and 89 nm, an increase of 37,108 ft. Cruise was maintained for 130 minutes, covering 938 nm, before a descent commenced 5 mi south of CPE5 Port Colborne Airport. The descent lowered the aircraft from 38,056 ft to 3,285 ft in 15 minutes and 79 nm, a decrease of 34,772 ft. A brief cruise segment of 3 minutes covered 8 nm before the final approach to runway 24L at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport.
On approach, the aircraft entered the final glide from the northeast, heading 227.0° at 4 nm and 1,270 ft AGL. Landing on runway 24L, the threshold speed was 131 kt and touchdown speed 125 kt, with a touchdown distance of 340 m and a touchdown rate of minus 597 fpm. The touchdown position was 5.8 m off the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,696 m, 62 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking position in 9 minutes, covering 2 nm. The entire flight covered 1,125 nm, lasted 181 minutes, and consumed 5,156 kg of fuel.
Approach to runway 24L at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport began from the north east, with the aircraft on a final approach heading 227.0° at 4 nm and 1,270 ft agl. The aircraft entered the final approach segment at a threshold speed of 131 kt, and the threshold height of 63 ft agl was above the target. The touchdown occurred at a distance of 340 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 597 fpm. The touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the runway centreline.
The aircraft landed on runway 24L, which has a length of 2,741 m. The total landing distance was 1,696 m, representing 62 % of the runway length. Runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 19 kt from 250°, providing a crosswind component of 7 kt and a headwind component of 17 kt.
