MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 59 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 59 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 688 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 9 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 144 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,889 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,889 m of the 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 688 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 11 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 11, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,605 m, which represented 53 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 31 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 100°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile southeast of MMMY, with the airplane ascending from 2,283 ft asl to 34,965 ft asl, a gain of 32,682 ft achieved in 28 minutes while covering 196 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 miles northwest of Doyle, Texas, and was maintained for 68 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 518 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 3 miles southwest of Nellieburg, Mississippi, dropping from 34,997 ft asl to 33,106 ft asl, a loss of 1,892 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 24 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 2 miles northeast of Cuba, Alabama, lasting 17 minutes and covering 124 nm.
The subsequent descent began 1 mile southeast of KALX Thomas C Russell Field, descending from 33,000 ft asl to 2,295 ft asl, a reduction of 30,705 ft in 24 minutes while traversing 130 nm.
On final approach to runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the aircraft reduced altitude from 1,318 ft agl to 100 ft agl in 96 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 27L, whose total length is 2,739 m, the aircraft touched down 266 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 118 kt; the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 143 fpm and alignment was very good. Threshold height was 59 ft agl, slightly above target, and threshold speed was 131 kt, slightly below target. Local weather reported a temperature of 32 °C, wind 7 kt from 20°, a 6 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,802 m, representing 66 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 10 minutes, covering a further 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,002 nm, required 157 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 6,974 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 01R at VECC Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,342 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 105 seconds and earned points on the stabilisation gates, contributing to the overall score of 95.5 %.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 122 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 365 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 117 kt that was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 302 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 837 m, representing 24 % of the 3,542 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Weather conditions were 32 °C temperature, wind 4 kt from 280°, crosswind 3 kt and no headwind.
A minor reduction in touchdown speed would bring the aircraft closer to the target speed and help soften the firm rate, while a small adjustment to lateral control during flare can eliminate the 4.0 m centreline offset. Maintaining the high stabilisation standards will preserve the strong overall score.
