MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 11° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 121 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 129 kt, 8 kt above the 121 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 2.3° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 121 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,995 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,795 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at PHBK Barking Sands Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll from runway 16 was initiated, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 1,052 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 80°F and wind blowing at 17 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. After departing from PHBK, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and climbing from an altitude of 949 feet above sea level to 11,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,059 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile east of 'Ele'ele and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 33 miles southeast of PHLI Lihue Airport, and descended from 10,593 feet above sea level to 9,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,587 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 20 miles west of Makaha and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute descent was initiated again, starting 7 miles southwest of Makaha, and the aircraft descended from 9,005 feet above sea level to 1,100 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,905 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was initiated from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,071 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 8,995 feet long, and the threshold height was excessively over the target at 145 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,370 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -350 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 77°F and wind blowing at 23 knots from a direction of 70°, with a crosswind component of 7 knots and a headwind component of 22 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,897 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 10 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 122 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3 pounds.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.4%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,071 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,370 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly above the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -350 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot had some control over the aircraft's descent, but may have been unable to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. However, the threshold height at 145 feet agl was excessively above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 23 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 7 knots, while the headwind component was 22 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 3,897 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's weight and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's roll-out and had maintained a stable alignment with the runway centerline.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and alignment skills, and was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop within a relatively short distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a stable approach path and achieving a smoother touchdown.
