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 17 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 17 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 17 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 17 ft to touchdown.
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 5,513 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,513 ft of the 10,511 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,542 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,501 feet, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 4 knots at 99 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Paradise, Nevada, and the aircraft ascended from 3,177 feet above sea level to 35,970 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,793 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 11 miles north of L06 Furnace Creek Death Valley National Park, California, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 10 miles east of Yosemite Valley, California, and the aircraft descended from 36,118 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,819 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 310.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the touchdown point being 1,169 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -155 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,240 feet, which accounted for 50% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 365 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes. The aircraft used 7,887 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 310.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good approach speed, touching down at 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's descent rate was -155 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown point was 1,169 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline, but this did not seem to affect the overall rollout alignment, which was reported as very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 220°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind conditions.
The total landing distance of 5,240 feet was 50% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot's landing technique and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, allowing for a smooth and controlled touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 89.5%.
