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 6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 114 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 145 fpm.
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 1,998 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,998 m of the 3,885 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Adelaide International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 23, taking off with a distance of 1,547 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots, overcoming a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 5 knots. The local temperature was 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind direction of 260 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Glenelg North, reaching a height of 35,560 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles east of Kringin Kringin, lasting 44 minutes and covering 374 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, starting 8 miles southwest of Binalong, and descended from 35,656 feet to 1,339 feet above sea level in 31 minutes, covering 162 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34L at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 348.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 140 knots, and the touchdown point was 206 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a rate of -165 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,932 meters, accounting for 50% of the runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total distance of 675 nautical miles, a flight time of 104 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 4,340 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,295 ft agl to a good threshold height, aligning itself with the runway centerline as it approached the touchdown zone. The threshold speed was well-managed, reaching 140 kt as the aircraft crossed the threshold.
The touchdown point was 206 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -165 fpm was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centerline, but this deviation did not significantly impact the subsequent rollout phase. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a moderate crosswind of 11 kt, presented a challenging environment for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying close to the centerline throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,932 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 97.8% reflecting the minor deviations from ideal performance.
