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 0.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 18° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 82 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 82 ft, 37 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,334 m of the 3,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,029 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 28 at VOCL Calicut International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,300 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 279 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,192 feet above sea level to 29,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,809 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The climb started overhead VOCL Calicut International Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise started 7 miles northwest of Perur, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 29,002 feet above sea level to 9,196 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,806 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The descent started 10 miles southeast of Kollegal, in the state of Karnataka, India. The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 9,142 feet above sea level to 9,684 feet above sea level, an increase of 542 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent from 9,615 feet above sea level to 6,042 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,573 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The descent started 3 miles west of VOBL Kempegowda International Airport, in the state of Karnataka, India. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise from 3 miles southeast of Vadigenhalli, in the state of Karnataka, India, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09L at VOBL Kempegowda International Airport from the west, heading 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,296 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 595 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -168 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 100 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,234 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 2,542 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at VOBL Kempegowda International Airport, with a final approach score of 83.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 09L, which has a length of 3,993 meters. The threshold height at 73 feet agl was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. The threshold speed was also good, at 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
The touchdown point was 595 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall landing performance. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,234 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and controlled during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's technique to achieve a more precise alignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a good score and minimal deviations from the target parameters. However, the slight misalignment during the rollout phase may require some attention to improve the overall landing performance.
