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 3.9°, 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 42 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 42 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 42 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 126 kt with 6.8° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 970 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,307 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,730 fpm on average to 970 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,284 m runway.
Rolled from 1,199 m in, drifted 3.4 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 53 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 30 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 20× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 19 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 58 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 35 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +34 kt on the approach speed of 115 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Fair landing flare
Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 90 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 23 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,526 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 5 ft, 45 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 769 m in, 464 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,526 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 620 fpm at 45 ft to 70 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.8° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,526 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.7 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 2.4 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
Touched down 769 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.07 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 15 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 17, the departure roll commenced, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,758-meter runway, utilizing 54% of its length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 127 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 5°C, with a 10-knot wind blowing at 140°, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Biny Selo, Azerbaijan, rising from 997 feet above sea level to 19,011 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft ascending by 18,014 feet. The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Lokbatan, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another climb 2 miles north of Khirdalan, reaching an altitude of 38,010 feet in 9 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 6 miles northeast of Qobustan, lasting 14 minutes and covering 93 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 4 miles north of Mingelchaur, Azerbaijan, descending from 37,347 feet to 2,843 feet in 22 minutes, covering 110 nautical miles.
As the aircraft entered the final approach phase, it aligned with runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport, heading 316.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 114 knots, and the touchdown point was 390 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 90 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -2 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 284 nautical miles, with a flight time of 67 minutes and a fuel consumption of 423 kilograms.
