MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Smooth out your control inputs through touchdown and rollout, easing the controls rather than snapping them to avoid sharp g spikes.
What happened: Average g force through the landing came out at 1 g, well above the smooth, steady loading expected through touchdown and rollout.
Watch for: G-force meter: hold it within the normal smooth range through touchdown and rollout.
See Arrival Landing
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,708 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,197 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737 departed from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway in under a minute, covering a short distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 25R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 133 knots in 4,494 feet, which represented 44% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 86°F, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Phoenix, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,998 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 8 miles north of the Desert Center Airport in California. The descent phase was characterized by a significant decrease in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its final cruising altitude in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The final approach to John Wayne Orange County International Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from 7,602 feet to 1,309 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The landing was made on runway 20R, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 3,620 feet, representing 64% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 306 nautical miles, with the aircraft using 5,553 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 62 minutes.
The B737 aircraft successfully completed a landing on runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The approach to the runway, initiated from the north east at a heading of 208.0°, was executed at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,240 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a good threshold height achieved prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was well-managed, reaching 126 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,187 ft was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown rate of -171 fpm was within the desired parameters, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a smooth touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 35 ft, which may require attention in future training sessions.
The aircraft's rollout phase was also notable, with a total landing distance of 3,620 ft, representing 64% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 ft from the centreline, the overall performance was impressive, earning the aircraft a score of 95.2%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 78°F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 276°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
