MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 150 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,436 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,088 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the aircraft began its taxi to runway 25L, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. At 150 kt, liftoff speed was achieved, and the aircraft lifted off the runway after a takeoff distance of 2,356 ft, which represented 30% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 63 °F, with a wind of 2 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from KMKE, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, ascending from 1,468 ft above sea level to 34,995 ft, an increase of 33,526 ft in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nm. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 5 miles southeast of Byron, Illinois, and lasted for 64 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 557 nm. The enroute descent phase started 3 miles south of Francis, Oklahoma, and saw the aircraft descend from 35,001 ft to 1,615 ft, a decrease of 33,387 ft in 19 minutes, covering 117 nm. The final approach to runway 18R at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 180.0° at 4 nm and 1,038 ft above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 18R at KDFW, a runway with a length of 13,436 ft, with a touchdown distance of 1,090 ft, representing 23% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 107 kt was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -276 fpm was fair. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 25 ft from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 34 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 3,072 ft. Following a taxi to the parking area that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 756 nm and consuming 6,449 lbs of fuel in the process, which took a total of 103 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport from the north, aligning with the heading of 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,038 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 114 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,090 feet was within the expected parameters, and the touchdown speed of 107 knots was also satisfactory.
However, the touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal range, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 25 feet, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to compensate for the crosswind. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 2 knots at 270°, were relatively calm, with a negligible headwind and a slight crosswind of 2 knots.
The aircraft's total landing distance of 3,072 feet was within 23% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 34 feet, which may have been a result of the pilot's continued attempt to compensate for the crosswind. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a final score of 95.9%.
