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 4.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 9.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 0.1 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.1 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,916 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,916 m of the 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,146 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E190 aircraft departed from London City Airport, taking off from runway 27. The takeoff distance was 1,017 meters, which is 76% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 328 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London City Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Canary Wharf, Greater London. The aircraft climbed from 960 feet above sea level to 2,228 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,269 feet in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-east of Canary Wharf and lasted 5 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time overhead Bayford, Hertfordshire. The climb from 2,999 feet above sea level to 33,913 feet above sea level was an increase of 30,914 feet in 14 minutes, covering 82 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Long Eaton, Derbyshire, and lasted 14 minutes, covering 100 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent overhead Tebay, Cumbria. The descent from 33,856 feet above sea level to 25,586 feet above sea level was a decrease of 8,271 feet in 5 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Carlisle, Cumbria, and lasted 16 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, this time from 25,586 feet above sea level to 6,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,592 feet in 13 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of Gorebridge, Midlothian, Scotland, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport was from the north-east, heading 239.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 123 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 24, with a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 326 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,833 meters, which is 86% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, taking 82 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,086 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level. The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 77.9%.
One of the notable issues during the landing was the threshold height, which was well above the target height. This indicates that the aircraft touched down at a higher altitude than desired, which could be a concern for safety. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 147 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for landing. This could have resulted in a longer landing distance and potentially increased the risk of an overrun.
The touchdown point was also a concern, as it was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the aircraft touched down at a distance from the runway threshold that was further than desired. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was also fast, which could have contributed to the long landing distance. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 326°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway during the touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,833 meters, which is 86% of the available runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it was still within the safe limits of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Embraer E190 aircraft demonstrated some positive aspects, such as the excellent touchdown rate and good runway touchdown and rollout alignment. However, there were also some areas for improvement, such as the high threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed.
