MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 9.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 116 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 32 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 309 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 116 kt, keeping it there through 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 15 at SBKP Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,554 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 130 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,169 feet above sea level to 17,355 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,185 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 56 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south east of Santa Isabel, Sao Paulo, Brazil. This phase lasted for 28 minutes and covered a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 17,420 feet above sea level to 18,436 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,016 feet, in just 2 minutes. The distance covered during this climb was 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 28 miles south east of SDMR Marambaia Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 31 miles south east of SDMR Marambaia Airport. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 18,007 feet above sea level to 17,426 feet above sea level, a decrease of 582 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 27 miles south of SBJR Jacarepaguá - Roberto Marinho Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 21 miles south east of RB21 Ipanema Lake in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 17,126 feet above sea level to 15,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,784 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 16 miles south of Marica, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 7 miles south of SDSK Saquarema Airport in Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 15,379 feet above sea level to 1,058 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,321 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 31 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at SBES Tenente Jorge Henrique Möller Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 230.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,006 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 230 degrees.
The aircraft landed on runway 25, which had a length of 2,401 meters. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 116 knots.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at SBES Tenente Jorge Henrique Möller Airport, with a score of 87.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 230.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,006 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 2,401 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 116 knots. The touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 101 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -450 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 843 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
