MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 561 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG), with a takeoff distance of 1,089 meters, which was 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a 4-knot headwind at 300°. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,110 feet above sea level to 38,888 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,777 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Argamasilla de Alba in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. This cruise phase lasted for 114 minutes, covering a distance of 754 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Messstetten in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent from 39,129 feet above sea level to 11,168 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,961 feet, took 13 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles northeast of Mudau in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Stetten in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent from 10,354 feet above sea level to 1,686 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,667 feet, took 9 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,337 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07R was successful, with a touchdown point 143 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -180 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and a 6-knot headwind at 30°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,281 meters, which was 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,077 nautical miles, taking 173 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,836 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 07R, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,281 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
