MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.1°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 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 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 1,723 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,723 m of the 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 503 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Boston, Massachusetts, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 33L, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,259 meters, which equated to 45% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it passed overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, and continued its ascent to a maximum altitude of 33,168 feet above sea level. This climb phase, which lasted 24 minutes, covered a distance of 141 nautical miles and resulted in an increase of 32,124 feet in altitude. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the Beaver Creek Airport in Chesterville, Maine, and lasted for 180 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,420 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began approximately 42 miles west of the Maniitsoq Airport in Maniitsoq, Greenland, and lasted 26 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 31,801 feet to 1,436 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Kangerlussuaq Airport (BGSF) was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 62.0° at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 146 knots, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 136 knots, with a touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute. The touchdown point was located 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,643 meters, which equated to 59% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,706 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 10,224 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 241 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down smoothly on runway 09 at BGSF Kangerlussuaq Airport, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,289 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 62.0 degrees. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
As the aircraft crossed the threshold, it maintained a speed of 146 knots, adhering to the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 88 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots. The touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute was spot on, indicating a perfectly controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was flawless, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,643 meters was 59% of the runway length, demonstrating a respectable level of control and precision. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 99.5% reflecting the high level of proficiency displayed by the crew.
