MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7.6 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 12 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,143 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 09R at KTMB Miami Executive Airport in 12 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09R, the Challenger 350 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 122 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 615 m, representing 34 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 30 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 78°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced over Country Walk, Florida, with the aircraft ascending from 928 ft asl to 44,996 ft asl, a gain of 44,067 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 117 nm.
The first cruise segment began 17 mi north of West End in the West Grand Bahama District and continued for 53 minutes, during which 403 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent number one started 22 mi south-east of Caswell Beach, North Carolina, reducing altitude from 45,008 ft asl to 43,198 ft asl, a loss of 1,810 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 12 nm.
The second cruise phase originated 13 mi south-east of Kure Beach, North Carolina, lasting 18 minutes and covering 144 nm at constant flight level.
Descent number two began 2 mi north-west of 2NC7 Scotland Neck East Airport, descending from 43,184 ft asl to 2,648 ft asl, a decrease of 40,535 ft over 26 minutes and a distance of 161 nm.
A brief cruise followed, starting 2 mi north-west of Bryantown, Maryland, lasting 3 minutes and encompassing 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 01L at KADW Joint Base Andrews reduced altitude from 1,337 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 114 seconds; the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 01L, which is 3,143 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 63 ft agl above target and a threshold speed slightly above target at 120 kt; touchdown was recorded 240 m beyond the touchdown zone at 104 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 285 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.1 m from centreline. Local conditions were 20 °C, wind 14 kt from 10°, cross-wind 2 kt and head-wind 14 kt. The total landing roll measured 1,369 m, representing 44 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 11.7 m from the centreline before the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in of 3 minutes covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 854 nm, required 134 minutes, and consumed 1,852 kg of fuel.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 approached runway 01L at KADW with a stabilised profile at the 1,000 ft gate, maintaining gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed within limits while descending from 1,337 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 114 seconds; the overall approach contributed to a score of 92.4 %.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft passed the threshold at a height of 63 ft agl, which was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 120 kt.
Touchdown occurred 240 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 104 kt judged good and a vertical rate of minus 285 fpm assessed as fair; the touchdown point was offset 6.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout continued with a centreline deviation of 11.7 m, and the aircraft travelled a total landing distance of 1,369 m, representing 44 % of the 3,143 m runway length.
Refine the flare height to achieve the intended threshold height and adjust directional control to reduce centreline deviation during touchdown and rollout, which will further optimise the already strong performance.
