MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 49 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 49 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 49 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.
One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3.2° glideslope, off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,270 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,270 m of the 3,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 796 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YBBN Brisbane International Airport, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01R, with a takeoff distance of 881 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of Nudgee Beach, and climbed from an altitude of 1,051 feet above sea level to 8,317 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,265 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Moreton Island and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 13 miles northeast of Point Lookout, and climbed from 8,209 feet above sea level to 41,977 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,768 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting at a latitude of -26.3004376 and a longitude of 156.0834228, and lasted for 128 minutes, covering a distance of 1,179 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 97 miles southwest of NFMA Mana Island Airport, and descended from 41,906 feet above sea level to 786 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,120 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at NFFN Nadi International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 210.0 degrees, at an altitude of 726 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 20, which has a length of 3,209 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 114 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 327 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,120 meters, which is 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 1,466 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 183 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 798 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at Nadi International Airport, but the landing was not without some minor issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 210.0° at 1 nautical mile and 726 feet above ground level. The final approach was made to runway 20, which has a length of 3,209 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were warm, with a temperature of 31°C, and a moderate wind blowing at 17 knots from 327°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to bring the aircraft safely to the ground.
The total landing distance was 2,120 meters, which is 66% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some issues with the pilot's control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor issues that need to be addressed. The pilot's score of 78.3% suggests that there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
