MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 178 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 153 kt against a target of 178 kt, running 25 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 178 kt.
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 68 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 68 ft, 23 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 291 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 129 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,498 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 214 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E190 taxied from the parking area to runway 10R at Dublin Airport (EIDW) in eight minutes, covering approximately 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10R, the aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 1,237 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and lifted off at 140 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 160°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Dublin, rising from 1,183 ft asl to 32,992 ft asl, an altitude gain of 31,809 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 119 nm.
The first cruise segment began over Ellesmere Port, lasting 16 minutes and spanning 101 nm at level flight.
Descent started over Towcester, descending from 33,002 ft asl to 8,996 ft asl, a loss of 24,006 ft in 17 minutes and covering 103 nm.
A brief cruise followed 11 mi southeast of Clacton-on-Sea, lasting four minutes and extending 14 nm.
The next descent began eight miles north of Herne Bay, dropping from 9,001 ft asl to 3,442 ft asl, a decrease of 5,559 ft in seven minutes while traveling 26 nm.
A short cruise segment over Tilbury lasted two minutes and covered five nautical miles.
Descent over Dartford reduced altitude from 2,999 ft asl to 2,310 ft asl, a loss of 689 ft in two minutes across five nautical miles.
The final cruise leg was one mile northwest of Sidcup, lasting five minutes and covering 13 nm.
On final approach to runway 09 at London City Airport (EGLC), the aircraft descended from 1,727 ft agl to -151 ft agl in 89 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 09 was performed with a runway length of 1,498 m; the threshold speed was 124 kt, touchdown occurred 213 m down the runway at 120 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 418 fpm. Alignment was perfect, and local weather reported 17 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 70°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind component. The total landing distance recorded was 887 m, representing 59 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in three minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 395 nm, required 84 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,279 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E190 executed the final approach to runway 09 at London City Airport with an unstable profile at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 5 kt below VREF, and descended from 1,727 ft agl to -151 ft agl in 89 seconds while the overall landing score was 95.1 %.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 124 kt, with local conditions of 17 °C temperature, wind 9 kt from 070°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 213 m down the runway at a good speed of 120 kt, but the vertical rate was hard at -418 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 887 m, representing 59 % of the 1,498 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
Maintain speed above VREF by the 1,000 ft gate to secure a stabilized approach, and refine flare timing to reduce the hard vertical rate at touchdown.
