MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,641 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,641 m of the 2,704 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 186 m touchdown sits inside 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 17 at PASM St Mary's Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,767 meters, which was 90% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of PASM St Mary's Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,177 feet above sea level to 26,776 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,599 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 18 miles northeast of 16A Nunapitchuk Airport, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles west of 3Z8 Golden Horn Lodge Seaplane Base, and descended from 26,667 feet above sea level to 1,908 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,759 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southeast of 5KO Koggiung Airport, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 at PAKN King Salmon Airport was made from the northwest, heading 132.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,434 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 12 at PAKN King Salmon Airport, which had a length of 2,704 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 188 meters, and the touchdown speed at 118 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -476 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,554 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 285 nautical miles, which was covered in 56 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,906 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at PAKN King Salmon Airport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,434 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,704 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 125 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 188 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was hard at -476 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,554 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.0 meters, which may indicate a slight deviation from the desired path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft safely to the runway was demonstrated, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management and alignment during the approach and rollout phases.
