MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 16 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 16 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 16 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 1,643 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,643 m of the 3,196 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 509 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 18R at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria. The takeoff distance was 1,253 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 208 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,065 feet above sea level to 36,079 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,014 feet.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 25 miles northwest of Sotouboua in Togo and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 466 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Faseri-Bougou in Mali, descending from 36,029 feet above sea level to 2,483 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at GABS Modibo Keita International Airport in Bamako, Mali, was made from the southwest, heading 57.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,196 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,572 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. 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 771 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes. The aircraft used 5,749 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at GABS Modibo Keita International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 57.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 103 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 139 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -246 feet per minute, which was deemed fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions ideal.
The total landing distance of 1,572 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
