MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 144 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 140 kt against a VREF of 144 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 144 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 144 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 286 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Stansted Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 22, taking off with a distance of 1,400 meters, which accounted for 51% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, with a local temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. As the aircraft departed the UK airspace, it entered a climb phase, ascending from 1,289 feet above sea level to 34,979 feet in 41 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase commenced 42 miles northwest of Nieuw-Haamstede, The Netherlands, and lasted for 297 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,166 nautical miles. The cruise altitude remained constant at 34,979 feet. As the aircraft approached the Turkish airspace, it began its descent phase, reducing its altitude from 35,007 feet to 9,361 feet in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting 13 minutes, before commencing its final descent phase. The aircraft touched down on runway 06R at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 289 meters and a speed of 137 knots.
The landing was deemed satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -3 feet per minute. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 141 knots. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 10 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,486 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 427 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,553 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 06R at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport with a threshold speed of 141 kt, meeting the required standard. The aircraft maintained a good touchdown distance of 289 m, but the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly above the optimal range. However, the touchdown rate of -3 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The approach quality was good, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 64.0° and a descent rate that allowed for a good threshold height. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 30°, presented a moderate crosswind component of 4 kt and a headwind of 6 kt. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by these conditions.
The landing was completed with a total distance of 1,517 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. Although the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline, the rollout alignment was slightly worse, with the aircraft deviating by 14.3 m from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall score for the landing was 93.9%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
