MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.2 ft, and this flight then touched down at 315 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,797 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,797 m of the 1,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-800 departed San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27, utilizing 41% of the 2,067-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 5 knots from a direction of 199 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it ascended from 1,049 feet above sea level to 36,268 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following a 74-minute level cruise at an altitude of 36,268 feet, the aircraft began its descent towards Jackson Hole Airport (KJAC) in Idaho. The descent phase was marked by a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft ultimately touching down on runway 19 at a speed of 140 knots.
The landing was executed with a touchdown distance of 344 meters, which was within the acceptable range for the 1,923-meter runway. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than desired at -480 feet per minute. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 882 nautical miles, with the aircraft consuming 6,101 kilograms of fuel during the 141-minute flight. The crew's handling of the aircraft was commended, with the runway rollout alignment being described as very good.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 19 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady heading of 199.0° from 4 nautical miles away at 1,313 feet above ground level. The aircraft's descent was well-controlled, resulting in a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also within acceptable limits at 143 knots, allowing for a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 140 knots, contributing to a hard touchdown rate of -480 feet per minute. However, the touchdown distance of 344 meters was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 4 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 4 knots, did not significantly impact the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was well-executed, with excellent alignment on the runway centreline. The total landing distance of 1,727 meters was 90% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.9%, reflecting the minor deviations from optimal performance.
