MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.4 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
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.
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 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,642 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Phenom 300E departed from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, taking to the skies from runway 03R with a takeoff distance of 420 meters, representing 12% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 127 knots, with a local temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 7 knots. The initial climb phase began as the aircraft cleared the airport, with a steady ascent from 1,230 feet above sea level to 42,760 feet, a vertical gain of 41,531 feet over a distance of 78 nautical miles.
As the aircraft leveled off, it entered a prolonged cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 42,760 feet for 32 minutes while covering a distance of 716 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of descents and level-offs, with the aircraft descending from 42,894 feet to 17,005 feet over a distance of 84 nautical miles, and then leveling off again at 16,992 feet for a brief period. The final descent phase began 23 miles south of Bordighera, with the aircraft touching down on runway 04L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport after a total flight distance of 994 nautical miles.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 109 knots and a touchdown speed of 102 knots, with the aircraft touching down 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 924 meters, representing 36% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 84 minutes and consuming 1,127 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with a threshold height of 57 ft agl, slightly above the target. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 45.0° at 4 nm and 1,244 ft agl. The threshold speed of 109 kt was maintained, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 102 kt, resulting in a touchdown rate of -258 fpm, which was considered fair.
The touchdown point was 51 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 330°, contributed to a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 2 kt. The total landing distance of 924 m was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing.
The rollout phase was characterized by a slight misalignment of 9.1 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.5%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown, despite the minor deviations, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
