MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 192 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 393 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,784 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 475 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 25 at UCFL Issyk-Kul, with a takeoff distance of 1,950 meters, which was 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 150°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile west of UCFL Issyk-Kul, in the Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan. The climb took 43 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 6,485 feet above sea level to 39,115 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,630 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 282 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles south of Aqtoghay in East Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan. This phase lasted for 167 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,249 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 33 miles southwest of Sosnovo-Ozerskoye in Respublika Buryatiya, Russia. The descent took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,635 feet above sea level to 3,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,918 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at UIAA Chita-Kadala International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 281.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,468 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 29, which had a length of 2,784 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -22°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 907 meters, which was 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,632 nautical miles, which was covered in 231 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,625 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at UIAA Chita-Kadala International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 281.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,468 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a smooth touchdown, with a speed of 118 knots at the point of touchdown.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -117 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -22°C, and a light wind of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance was 907 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centerline of the runway throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was characterized by a smooth and controlled approach, a good touchdown speed, and a short landing distance. The aircraft's performance was excellent, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
