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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 515 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Learjet 35A began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway, which took 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nm. The departure roll was from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, with a takeoff distance of 1,304 m, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 11 knots coming from 340 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots.
The enroute climb started over MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, climbing from 1,068 ft to 42,390 ft in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nm. The enroute level cruise began 44 miles southwest of MUCV Las Clavellinas Airport in Cuba and lasted 2 minutes, covering 18 nm. The descent started 26 miles southwest of MUCV Las Clavellinas Airport, descending from 42,380 ft to 4,075 ft in 16 minutes, covering 112 nm.
Another enroute level cruise began 5 miles northeast of Candelaria, Cuba, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nm. The subsequent descent started 2 miles northeast of Artemisa, descending from 4,072 ft to 2,239 ft in 2 minutes over 9 nm. The flight then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles west of San Antonio de los Banos, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm. The final descent began 2 miles west of MUHA José Martí International Airport in Havana, descending from 2,018 ft to 990 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at MUHA José Martí International Airport was from the southwest, at a heading of 57.0 degrees, 3 nm out, and 1,074 ft above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 107 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -367 ft/min. The touchdown point was 88 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10.2 m from the centerline. The total landing distance was 683 m, which was 17% of the runway length.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 292 nm, with a duration of 57 minutes, using 891 kg of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 87.5% indicates a strong performance with room for improvement in certain areas.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated good glideslope alignment and maintained a proper threshold speed of 122 kn, which is commendable. This shows that you have a good understanding of the aircraft's approach to the runway, which is crucial for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height at 62 ft agl was above the target, indicating the need for better altitude management during this phase. Additionally, the landing flare was described as very poor, suggesting that you may need to work on your technique for a smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, the firm touchdown rate of -367 ft/m is a bit on the high side, indicating a firm landing. However, the touchdown speed of 107 kn was good, showing that you were able to control the aircraft's speed effectively. The fact that you touched down 88 m beyond the touchdown zone and were misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline highlights the need for more precision in your touchdown point and alignment.
In conclusion, while your overall landing score is strong, there are areas such as altitude management, landing flare, touchdown point, and alignment where you can focus on improving. By practicing these specific aspects of the landing process, you can enhance your overall performance and strive for even better scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to work on refining your skills in each phase of the landing process.
