MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 41 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 41 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 41 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,666 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,666 m of the 2,627 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 853 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KAPF Naples Municipal Airport, the aircraft began its journey on runway 05, taking off with a distance of 727 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots, overcoming a headwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a significant distance, covering 110 nautical miles in 17 minutes and ascending to an altitude of 43,809 feet above sea level. The climb phase was followed by a 47-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 361 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 5 miles west of 32GA Sebastian Cove Airport Eatonton, Georgia, and the aircraft descended to an altitude of 19,370 feet above sea level in 11 minutes, covering 75 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 3 miles north of Andrews, North Carolina, and the aircraft landed on runway 05R at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport, with a total landing distance of 1,583 meters, accounting for 60% of the runway length.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 20 degrees. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 636 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,855 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 95 minutes.
The final approach to runway 05R at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport was initiated from the south west, heading 44.0° at 4 nm and 1,248 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 75 ft above ground level, well above the target. However, the threshold speed of 145 kt was excessively high, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
The aircraft touched down 434 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the long rollout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a 15 kt wind at 20°, resulted in a 6 kt crosswind and a 14 kt headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,583 m was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.8 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 80.3%. However, there were opportunities for improvement, particularly in terms of threshold speed and touchdown speed.
