MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 260 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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 3.5° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 745 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, located in LFMN, France. The takeoff distance was 1,301 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 982 feet above sea level to 32,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,004 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles northeast of Torriglia, Italy. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Preseglie, Italy. The descent from 32,805 feet above sea level to 9,507 feet above sea level took 19 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile west of Breitenbach am Inn, Austria. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of Fuegen, Austria. The descent from 9,497 feet above sea level to 3,794 feet above sea level took 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport, located in LOWI, was made from the east, heading 262.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,870 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a runway length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 329 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 180 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,247 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 363 nautical miles, taking a total of 70 minutes. The aircraft used 3,334 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) on runway 26, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 262.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,870 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 148 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 329 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 128 kt was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively.
The touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a moderate rate of descent. This could be attributed to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft, reducing the rate of descent and ensuring a smoother touchdown.
During the landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. This deviation may have been caused by factors such as wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the headwind component was negligible, at 0 kt. The total landing distance of 1,247 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases.
