MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 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 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Microsoft Aircraft PA-28-236 Dakota, then departed from runway 19 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport. The takeoff distance was 156 meters, which accounted for 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 67 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 10 knots at 190 degrees, a crosswind of 1 knot, and a headwind of 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LTBS Dalaman International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 965 feet above sea level to 7,971 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,006 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles south east of Goecek, Turkey, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles north west of Kemer, Turkey, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,957 feet above sea level to 1,554 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,404 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 5 miles north east of Beldibi, Turkey, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent began 2 miles south of SB42 Antalya, Turkey, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,552 feet above sea level to 856 feet above sea level, a decrease of 695 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles south of Muratpasa, Turkey, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18C at LTAI Antalya International Airport was made from the north, heading 182.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 352 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18C, which had a length of 3,404 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target speed at 66 knots. The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 55 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 11 knots at 160 degrees, a crosswind of 5 knots, and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 768 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 110 nautical miles, and the flight took 59 minutes to complete, using 28 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed on runway 18C at LTAI Antalya International Airport with a score of 96.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 182.0° at 1 nautical mile and 352 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway.
The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 55 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 40°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The runway length of 3,404 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 768 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned path during the landing. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
