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 3.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 638 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 374 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 6,980 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,980 ft of the 10,483 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,887 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31 at Winnipeg's James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,074 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 87°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after departure, 1 mile northwest of the airport, and reached an altitude of 34,973 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered 134 nautical miles, took 21 minutes and involved an increase of 33,157 feet in altitude.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 65 minutes and covered 549 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 7 miles south of the Stewart Lake Seaplane Base in Ear Falls, Ontario. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 10 miles west of Tobermory, Ontario, and ended at an altitude of 4,678 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered 131 nautical miles, took 27 minutes and involved a decrease of 30,204 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. This phase started 3 miles north of Richmond Hill, Ontario. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Foxden Farms in Newmarket, Ontario, and ended at an altitude of 3,764 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered 4 nautical miles, took 2 minutes and involved a decrease of 458 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. This phase started 2 miles north of Buttonville Municipal Airport in Toronto, Ontario. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles south of Richmond Hill, Ontario, and ended at an altitude of 1,884 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered 8 nautical miles, took 3 minutes and involved a decrease of 1,359 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 226.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 10,483 feet. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 2,511 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 151 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -465 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 85 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 82°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 296 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,703 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 77 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 847 nautical miles, and the flight took 144 minutes, using 14,232 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 226.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach score was 68.6%, indicating that the landing was not entirely satisfactory.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 2,511 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is significantly off-target. The touchdown speed of 151 knots was also a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -465 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing some difficulties with its descent and touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was also significantly misaligned by 85 feet from the centreline, which could have made the landing more challenging for the pilots. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 296°. However, the crosswind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the landing.
The total landing distance was 6,703 feet, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, and it suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing some difficulties with its braking performance. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 77 feet from the centreline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilots to control the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft experienced some difficulties with its descent and touchdown, and the landing distance was longer than expected. However, the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop, and the landing was ultimately successful.
