MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 148 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 203 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,475 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 736 m (49 % of the runway) and lifted off at 140 kt; ambient temperature was 27 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 050°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The climb commenced overhead EGLC, rising from 953 ft asl to 40,476 ft asl-a gain of 39,523 ft-in 34 minutes while covering 271 nm.
Cruise level was established over Deudesfeld, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany and was maintained for 93 minutes, during which 755 nm were flown.
Descent began 7 miles east of Lipljan, Kosovo, descending from 41,012 ft asl to 1,347 ft asl, a loss of 39,665 ft in 20 minutes and covering 138 nm.
The final approach to runway 16 at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport was executed from the north on a heading of 166.0°, at 4 nm and 1,321 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16 was achieved with a threshold speed of 121 kt; touchdown occurred 82 m beyond the touchdown zone at 108 kt and a smooth rate of minus 144 fpm, with perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C, wind 2 kt from 000°, no crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The rollout distance measured 949 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment remained perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,169 nm, lasted 152 minutes, and consumed 6,192 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 executed a final approach to runway 16 at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 166.0° at 4 nm and 1,321 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft displayed good threshold height, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 121 kt. The touchdown point was recorded 82 m beyond the touchdown zone.
At touchdown the speed was 108 kt and was judged good, the vertical rate was smooth at -144 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 949 m, representing 38 % of the 2,475 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
With a score of 98.9 % the landing was excellent; reducing the threshold speed to the target value and aiming for a touchdown point within the designated zone will tighten an already strong performance.
