MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Smoothly ease back pressure on the yoke during the climb, holding g force steady near 1.6 g instead of snatching the pitch.
What happened: You pulled 1.6 g of g force through Climb 2, and that kind of abrupt pitch handling usually carries into the next climb, where it spiked again to 1.3 g in Climb 3.
Watch for: G-meter: smooth, steady g force through the climb.
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold speed at 135 kt, correcting the slow threshold speed before it carries through to the flare.
What happened: Threshold speed was slow at 109 kt against 135 kt, and touchdown followed short of the aim point at 96 m. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries the touchdown short.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 135 kt 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.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 135 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,124 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 96 m short of the threshold. The 2.83 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing F/A-18E departed from runway 06L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, where it had been taxiing for 13 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 205 knots, utilizing 31% of the runway's length, which measured 1,031 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 70 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 30 nautical miles in just 3 minutes, ascending from 749 feet above sea level to 35,037 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 49 minutes, covering a significant distance of 756 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs and descents, including a notable descent from 36,900 feet to 1,189 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at CYYT St. John's International Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft touching down before the threshold at a speed of 109 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy, at -2,345 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 411 meters, accounting for 19% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 6 minutes. The total flight distance was 891 nautical miles, completed in 73 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported. The flight's performance was notable for its efficient use of runway length and its ability to navigate through varying weather conditions, including a temperature drop from 10 degrees Celsius to -4 degrees Celsius and a change in wind direction from 70 degrees to 360 degrees.
The Boeing F/A 18E touched down on runway 34 at CYYT St. John's International Airport, having approached from the south east at a heading of 319.0°. The aircraft was established on the final approach at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown was premature, occurring before the threshold of the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 109 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was excessive, at -2,345 feet per minute, indicating a heavy impact. The runway touchdown position was also not aligned with the centreline, being 8.6 meters off-centre. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -4°C and a crosswind of 13 knots, may have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the approach and landing. The headwind of 15 knots also played a role in the aircraft's touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 411 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. The rollout alignment was also not ideal, with the aircraft deviating 11.9 meters from the centreline. Despite these issues, the overall score for the landing was 75.3%. While there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
