MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 40 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 40 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 40 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 730 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 to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35L at Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,345 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 120 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy. The climb was from an altitude of 1,786 feet above sea level to 36,684 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,898 feet in 39 minutes, covering a distance of 297 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Licki Osik in Lika-Senj, Croatia. This phase lasted for 253 minutes, covering a distance of 2,227 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 35 miles south of OIBV Lavan Airport in Hormozgan Province, Iran. The descent was from an altitude of 36,996 feet above sea level to 2,000 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,996 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of OMSH Sharjah Airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This phase lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 301.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,305 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30L was successful, with a touchdown point 307 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -178 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,165 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,688 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 324 minutes. The aircraft used 14,344 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) on runway 30L, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 125 knots. The touchdown point was 307 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 250°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even smoother. The runway length of 3,595 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,165 meters, which accounted for only 32% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a short distance of the runway threshold.
