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 34 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on final to cross the threshold at 122 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 19 kt below the 122 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.7° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 122 kt at the threshold
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 six 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,434 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) in Denver, Colorado, the aircraft began its journey down runway 30R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 133 kt after a takeoff distance of 3,689 ft, which covered 41% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 64 °F, with a gentle headwind of 2 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 29,712 ft after a 10-minute ascent of 23,219 ft, covering a distance of 63 nm. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 51 minutes and spanned 451 nm, taking the aircraft over the eastern plains of Colorado and into the southern states. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of descents, the first of which began 6 miles south of Wilson, Oklahoma, and saw the aircraft lose 26,179 ft in altitude over a 14-minute period, covering 84 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase, which lasted just 2 minutes and covered 6 nm, was followed by another descent, this time from 2,998 ft to 1,807 ft in just 2 minutes, as the aircraft prepared for its final approach to Addison Airport (KADS).
The final approach to runway 34 at KADS was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending from 1,163 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 341.0 °. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 103 kt, slightly below the target value, and a touchdown distance of 296 ft, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 101 kt was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -346 fpm was firm. The aircraft touched down 11 ft off the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,865 ft, which covered 34% of the available runway, was within acceptable limits. After a short taxiing period, the aircraft came to rest in the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 618 nm in 85 minutes, using 275 lbs of fuel in the process.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 34 at KADS Addison Airport from the south, aligning with the heading of 341.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,163 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 103 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a touchdown distance of 296 feet and a speed of 101 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -346 feet per minute, indicating a controlled impact. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, the aircraft's centreline alignment during rollout was very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,865 feet was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.1%. The minor deviations from the optimal approach speed and touchdown position did not significantly impact the overall performance, and the aircraft's centreline alignment during rollout was a notable highlight.
