MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 82 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 82 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 822 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.2° off, against a 1° limit and speed 25 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,546 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,546 m of the 2,728 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 822 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC) took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 33, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 153 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,187 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short takeoff roll. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 8°C, with a 6-knot headwind and a 3-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from PANC, it began its enroute climb at an altitude of 1,134 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 39,000 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 104 nautical miles and took 16 minutes to complete, with an increase in altitude of 37,866 feet. Following a 41-minute level cruise at an altitude of 39,000 feet, the aircraft began its enroute descent at an altitude of 38,742 feet, eventually touching down at Juneau International Airport (PAJN) after a total flight distance of 593 nautical miles. The descent phase covered a distance of 93 nautical miles and took 15 minutes to complete, with a decrease in altitude of 33,707 feet.
The final approach to runway 26 at PAJN was made from the east, with the aircraft touching down 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 1,300 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight time was 106 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,182 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 26 at PAJN Juneau International Airport from the east was conducted in a satisfactory manner, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 289.0° at 2 nautical miles and 754 feet above ground level. The approach quality was good, with the threshold height at 64 feet above ground level being above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach path angle. However, the threshold speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, touching down 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 111 knots. The touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute was also good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth and stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,300 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the target approach path angle, the aircraft's control and management of the descent were good, and the touchdown and rollout phases were executed well.
