MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 191 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 143 kt against a target of 191 kt, running 48 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 191 kt.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections to track a point at the far end of the runway and close the offset before touchdown.
What happened: You touched down with the centreline offset by 4.8 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline alignment, keeping offset inside the limit.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,283 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
