MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 39 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on final to cross the threshold at 134 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 25 kt below the 134 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 0.9° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt at the threshold
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 six 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 15 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,325 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 749 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, a movement that lasted 22 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft used 3,332 ft, representing 42 % of the runway, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient temperature was 62 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, giving a 2 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead CYOW, rising from 1,268 ft asl to 37,011 ft asl, an increase of 35,743 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 91 nm.
The first level cruise began 16 miles southwest of Cape Vincent, New York, and continued for 72 minutes, during which 627 nm were flown.
Descent started 3 miles north of 1SC2 Gwinn Field, South Carolina, descending from 37,001 ft asl to 2,588 ft asl, a loss of 34,413 ft over 18 minutes and 113 nm.
A subsequent level cruise segment began 3 miles west of GA35 Cypress Lakes Airport, Georgia, lasted 3 minutes, and covered 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 91.0°, at 4 nm and 1,271 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10, which is 9,325 ft long, the aircraft touched down at 105 kt after a threshold speed of 109 kt, with a touchdown distance of 741 ft. The touchdown rate was minus 327 fpm and the total landing distance measured 2,158 ft, representing 23 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 849 nm, required 115 minutes, and consumed 437 lbs of fuel.
The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 10 at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport from the west on a heading of 91.0° at 4 nm and 1,271 ft AGL. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 2 kt. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was 109 kt, noted as well below target with a reminder to take care not to stall.
Touchdown occurred 741 ft down the runway at a speed of 105 kt, described as good, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 327 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,158 ft, representing 23 % of the 9,325 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the target threshold speed to avoid excessive margin below the desired value and adjust flare technique to reduce the firm touchdown rate, thereby preserving the excellent alignment and overall high score.
