MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 116 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 123 kt against a 116 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 116 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 11.4° off, against a 1° limit, wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.8° against the runway's 3°, centreline 9.1° off, against a 1° limit and speed 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,682 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,682 m of the 2,551 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 606 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Austin Bergstrom International Airport (KAUS), the aircraft began its journey down runway 18L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 147 kt after a takeoff distance of 808 m, which accounted for 29% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26 °C, with a wind of 21 kt blowing from the west at 190 °. This resulted in a 20 kt headwind component, which significantly reduced the aircraft's ground speed.
As the aircraft climbed away from KAUS, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 43,012 ft after an increase of 41,631 ft in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nm. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles north of the Smoky Bend Ranch Airport (TA24) and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 308 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 43,014 ft to 10,986 ft in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nm. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 13 minutes and covering 60 nm. The final descent phase began 2 miles east of La Mesilla, with the aircraft reducing its altitude from 10,996 ft to 6,755 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nm.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 20 at Santa Fe Municipal Airport (KSAF), aligning itself with the runway from the north east. The landing was executed with a threshold height well above target, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 kt. The touchdown point was 150 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,561 m, accounting for 61% of the available runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey after a total flight distance of 621 nm, which took 104 minutes and consumed 1,627 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 20 at KSAF Santa Fe Municipal Airport from the north east was initiated at 0 nm and 454 ft above ground level, heading 214.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 78 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed was good at 124 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down 150 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was a little fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -501 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind of 7 knots at 250°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,561 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating a reasonable landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 scored 84.2%, reflecting a good but not exceptional landing.
