MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from João Paulo II Airport, LPPD, on runway 30, with a takeoff distance of 995 meters, utilizing 44% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, with a local temperature of 15°C and wind conditions of 4 knots at 229 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot headwind and a 4-knot crosswind.
Following departure, the aircraft climbed to 26,365 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,408 feet in 10 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 18 miles northeast of Agua Retorta, lasting 57 minutes and covering 476 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed to 38,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,974 feet in 7 minutes, before entering another level cruise phase, which lasted 71 minutes and covered 596 nautical miles. The final climb phase took place 37 miles southwest of Île d'Yeu Airport, with the aircraft reaching 39,996 feet above sea level in 3 minutes.
The descent phase began 1 mile north of Wez-Velvain, with the aircraft descending from 39,061 feet to 1,276 feet above sea level in 23 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was from the southwest, with a heading of 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 447 meters and a touchdown speed of 132 knots, slightly above the target speed. The total landing distance was 1,354 meters, utilizing 42% of the available runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,692 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 227 minutes and a fuel consumption of 24,880 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was good, with a heading of 58.0° from the south west at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, which may have contributed to a touchdown speed of 132 knots, a little faster than desired. However, the touchdown distance of 447 meters was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown characteristics were fair, with a rate of -234 feet per minute, which is slightly higher than ideal. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision in the approach and landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and winds of 8 knots at 110°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component of 6 knots and headwind component of 5 knots were well within manageable limits.
The total landing distance of 1,354 meters, which accounts for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 99.7% reflecting a high degree of proficiency in the approach and landing.
