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 7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 44 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 44 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 44 ft to touchdown.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,813 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bahrain International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 12L, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 25% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bahrain International Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 972 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 39,884 feet, a vertical gain of 38,912 feet in 41 minutes. The climb phase covered a distance of 232 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 39,884 feet for 67 minutes as it traversed 371 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded near King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 39,794 feet to 2,984 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded near Faydat al Mislah in the Mecca Region of Saudi Arabia.
The final approach to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, began with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 34L, utilizing 35% of the runway's length, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -123 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 740 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 5,617 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 34L at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The aircraft maintained a smooth touchdown speed of 117 kt, which contributed to a smooth touchdown rate of -123 fpm.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's position on the runway was slightly misaligned by 6.4 m from the centreline, deviating from the ideal touchdown zone. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,352 m, accounting for 35% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 340.0° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 140°, did not pose significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 94.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilots.
