MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 803 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Add power sooner on final to hold 125 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.
What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 11 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 297 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 kt at the threshold
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 3.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 125 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,961 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) in British Columbia, Canada, on runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,138 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, with a local temperature of 18°C and a wind of 13 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to 16,129 feet above sea level, it began a series of enroute climbs and descents, navigating through various waypoints and airfields in the United States and Mexico. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 14,958 feet to 17,996 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles, and later from 18,077 feet to 37,003 feet in 9 minutes, covering 64 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced several level cruises, including a 56-minute cruise at 37,001 feet, covering 460 nautical miles.
The flight finally approached runway 27 at Aeropuerto Internacional Gral. Abelardo Rodriguez (MMTJ) from the east, with a heading of 284.0° and an altitude of 755 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 316 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 112 knots, and the touchdown rate was -274 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,297 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 7,050 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 27 at MMTJ Aeropuerto Internacional Gral. Abelardo Rodriguez from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft FWB Infinity Airways maintaining a heading of 284.0° at 2 nm and 755 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 114 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 316 m, and the touchdown speed of 112 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -274 fpm was fair, suggesting a slight loss of control during the landing phase. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 259°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 976 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, earning a score of 99.4%. The minor deviations from the optimal landing speed and touchdown rate did not significantly impact the overall performance, resulting in a near-perfect landing.
