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 5.5 m 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 3.8 ft, 7.5 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.
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 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 and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,567 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,567 m of the 3,358 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 380 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FWB Infinity Airways, then departed from runway 16 at Macau International Airport, VMMC. The takeoff distance was 1,056 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Macau International Airport, Nossa Senhora do Carmo, in Guangdong Sheng, China. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 971 feet above sea level to 37,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,029 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 139 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 41 miles south of Shanwei, Guangdong Sheng, China. This phase lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 483 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 20 miles northwest of Lishui, Zhejiang Sheng, China. The aircraft descended from 37,004 feet above sea level to 1,237 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,767 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, ZSHC, was made from the southwest, heading 54.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,196 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 382 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -294 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,488 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 750 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 127 minutes. The aircraft used 4,117 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB Infinity Airways aircraft successfully landed at ZSHC Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,196 feet above ground level.
The aircraft demonstrated good control during the landing, with a threshold speed of 130 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 382 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the desired range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing, as the aircraft was not subjected to significant crosswind or tailwind forces.
The total landing distance of 1,488 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the FWB Infinity Airways aircraft demonstrated excellent landing skills, with a high score and a smooth touchdown. While there were some minor areas for improvement, such as the touchdown rate, the pilot's overall performance was impressive, and the landing was considered a success.
