MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 4.7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.1°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 4.8° with no reversals.
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 1,559 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,559 m of the 3,084 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 773 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,238 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 20 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBOS Logan International Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,053 feet above sea level to 32,718 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,665 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 49 miles south of Matinicus Island Airport, Matinicus Island, Maine, United States. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 12 miles southwest of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 156 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,018 feet above sea level to 3,591 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,427 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south of Seabee Mine Airport, Laonil Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles east of Lantz, Nova Scotia, Canada. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,657 feet above sea level to 1,757 feet above sea level, a decrease of 900 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at CYHZ Halifax / Stanfield International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 215.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 3,084 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 342 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -169 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 30 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 25 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,462 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 393 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 3,286 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ) on runway 23. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, there were a few areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On the positive side, the touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The landing distance of 1,462 meters, which accounts for 47% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 342 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate that the aircraft was slightly long on its landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centreline, which could have made the landing more challenging.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and winds of 30 knots at 180°. The crosswind component was 17 knots, while the headwind component was 25 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
During the rollout, the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 15.0 meters from the centreline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilots to maintain control. Overall, while there were some areas of concern during the landing, the aircraft was able to safely touch down and come to a stop on the runway.
