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 3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 6.7° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,047 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,332 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 21 at VYYY Yangon International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,964 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 15 knots at 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of VYYY Yangon International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,091 feet above sea level to 26,304 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,213 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 47 miles south of Thongwa and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles south of VYDA Dawei Airport, descending from 25,875 feet above sea level to 1,753 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,122 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at VYDW Dawei Airport was made from the northwest, heading 153.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,674 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16 was characterized by a touchdown point that was 842 feet beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 77 knots, which was a little fast, and a smooth touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 8 knots at 223 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,766 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 213 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 501 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at VYDW Dawei Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north-west, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,674 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down 842 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target.
The threshold height at 90 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 107 knots, which could have contributed to the aircraft's late touchdown. The touchdown speed of 77 knots was also a little fast, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Despite these issues, the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, which could have made the landing more challenging.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 80°F and winds of 8 knots at 223°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,766 feet, which is 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, which may have required additional control inputs from the pilot.
Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at VYDW Dawei Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot will need to review the approach and landing to identify areas for improvement and to ensure that the aircraft is operated safely and efficiently.
