MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 3.2°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 m touchdown sits inside 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05L at EGCC Manchester Airport. The takeoff distance was 845 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was also 6 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGCC Manchester Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,253 feet above sea level to 33,246 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,994 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 6 miles north of Thornham in Norfolk, England. This cruise phase lasted for 54 minutes and covered a distance of 441 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south east of Muschwitz in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 32,999 feet above sea level to 4,755 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,244 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north west of Velika Ves in the Stredocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Libeznice in the Stredocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,317 feet above sea level to 2,434 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,884 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the north east, with a heading of 245.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 271 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 137 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and winds of 13 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,297 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 704 nautical miles, which was covered in 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,115 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 24 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 271 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -372 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 249°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable and controlled descent.
The total landing distance of 1,297 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The high score of 98.3% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance under the given weather conditions.
