MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 161 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 142 kt against a target of 161 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 161 kt.
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 135 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 34 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 203 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 135 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,537 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,537 m of the 1,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 822 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The British Aerospace 146-100 taxied from the parking area to runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 04R, achieving lift-off after a takeoff distance of 900 m, which represented 30 % of the runway. Liftoff speed was 124 kt. Ambient temperature was 16 °C with wind from 270° at 2 kt, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb began overhead LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport, ascending from 1,192 ft asl to 24,640 ft asl, an increase of 23,448 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 51 nm.
Level cruise commenced 1 mile south-east of Garlenda, Liguria, Italy, lasting 3 minutes and covering 20 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started 7 miles south-east of Noli, Liguria, Italy, rising from 24,890 ft asl to 25,999 ft asl, an increase of 1,109 ft in 2 minutes and covering 9 nm.
Descent began 12 miles south-east of Varazze, Liguria, Italy, descending from 26,023 ft asl to 23,877 ft asl, a loss of 2,147 ft over 2 minutes and covering 11 nm.
The aircraft entered a level cruise segment 6 miles south of Bogliasco, Liguria, Italy, which persisted for 28 minutes and spanned 166 nm.
Descent resumed overhead Carano, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, dropping from 23,994 ft asl to 11,239 ft asl, a decrease of 12,755 ft in 7 minutes while covering 46 nm.
A further level cruise started 4 miles east of Lutago, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, lasting 3 minutes and covering 14 nm.
Descent continued 2 miles south-east of Gerlos, Tirol, Austria, falling from 11,338 ft asl to 2,822 ft asl, a loss of 8,517 ft in 9 minutes and covering 34 nm.
Final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport involved a descent from 901 ft agl to 363 ft agl in 103 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
The aircraft landed on runway 26, whose length is 1,990 m, with a threshold speed of 130 kt. Touchdown occurred 396 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 110 kt and a vertical rate of minus 204 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather reported temperature 15 °C, wind from 270° at 2 kt, a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind component of 2 kt.
Total landing distance measured 1,448 m, representing 73 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 359 nm, required 87 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,911 kg of fuel.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) with a score of 95.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 46.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 3,570 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 103 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected.
The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 92 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which suggests that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 259°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the tailwind component was 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's ground speed and roll-out distance.
The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilots made good decisions during the approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Citation CJ3+ aircraft, N60US, at Geneva Cointrin International Airport was a successful one, with a high score of 95.3%. The pilots demonstrated good skills and decision-making during the approach and landing, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
