MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,660 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,660 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 804 m 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 Cologne Bonn Airport, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 06, with a takeoff distance of 799 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 135 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The aircraft experienced a slight tailwind of 1 knot. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Roesrath, Germany. The climb took 8 minutes, covering 42 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 20,696 feet in altitude, from 1,313 feet above sea level to 22,009 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Hemer, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 22,007 feet above sea level to 23,015 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,008 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The climb started 2 miles east of Bonen, Germany.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles northwest of Werne, Germany, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles east of Krefeld, Germany. The descent took 6 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 21,756 feet in altitude, from 22,671 feet above sea level to 915 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport was from the northeast, with a heading of 233.0° at 4 nautical miles and 614 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 308 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 23L, with a runway length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 117 knots.
The touchdown point was 349 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 107 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -330 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The aircraft experienced a slight headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,540 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 245 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,007 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 614 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 117 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and adhere to standard procedures.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 349 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -330 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,540 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach path and touchdown zone. However, the pilot's ability to maintain control and adhere to standard procedures resulted in a safe and successful landing.
