MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 8.5 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 8.6 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.

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 1,647 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,647 m of the 2,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 22L. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following a smooth departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 154 knots, utilizing 73% of the available runway length of 1,177 meters.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered a headwind of 15 knots, which aided in its ascent. The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile east of Bedford Park, Illinois, and continued for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft gained an altitude of 33,695 feet. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent from 34,592 feet to 4,800 feet, a decrease of 29,792 feet, in 20 minutes. This descent phase was followed by a series of short level cruise phases, as the aircraft navigated through the airspace, eventually beginning its final approach to runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport.
The final approach was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point located 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute was smooth. Following a short taxiing period, the aircraft came to a stop, having utilized 5,185 kilograms of fuel and covering a total distance of 797 nautical miles in 118 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was well-managed at 142 kt, indicating a high degree of control and precision from the crew. The aircraft made contact with the runway at a speed of 133 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 fpm, minimizing the impact on the aircraft's structure.
The touchdown point was located 65 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was not considered a significant deviation. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 m from the centreline, but this was quickly corrected during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The Boeing 737-800's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft tracking very closely to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,562 m was 72% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.0% reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail.
