MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 29 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.5 ft, 2.7 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,719 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,719 ft of the 13,128 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,154 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 11R at Indira Gandhi International Airport (VIDP) in New Delhi, India. The takeoff distance was 6,619 feet, which was 87% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 86°F and winds of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from VIDP, the enroute climb started 2 miles southeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,860 feet above sea level to 35,720 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,859 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 223 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles east of Bahawalnagar in the Punjab Province of Pakistan and lasted for 164 minutes, covering a distance of 1,164 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 14 miles northwest of Turkmenbasy in the Balkan region of Turkmenistan, where it descended from 35,867 feet above sea level to 1,290 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,577 feet in 36 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB) in Baku, Azerbaijan, was made from the north, heading 167.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a total landing distance of 5,462 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 797 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 73°F. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,525 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 252 minutes. The aircraft used 22,486 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, heading 167.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 58 feet agl, but a good threshold speed of 140 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 797 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which indicates a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute (fpm). Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F. The total landing distance of 5,462 feet accounted for 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the plane to a stop.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, with a score of 90.6%. The slight deviations from the target parameters were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
