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 4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 182 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,368 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile west of KOAK, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to 37,201 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,180 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 12 miles northwest of CA50 Hughes/Malibu Heliport in Malibu, California. This cruise phase lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 422 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles north of Malad City, Idaho, where it descended from 36,968 feet above sea level to 7,736 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,232 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 21.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,310 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a runway length of 1,923 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was 183 meters, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -686 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 643 nautical miles, which was covered in 108 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,576 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 21.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -686 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher than ideal rate of descent. This could be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed or the pilot's decision to prioritize a shorter touchdown distance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -12°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to handle the situation.
The total landing distance of 1,211 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's speed and descent rate.
