MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Smooth your pitch and roll inputs during the climb so the g force stays close to 1.3 g instead of spiking.
What happened: During the third climb segment the g force swung to 1.3 g, well outside the steady level flight band.
Watch for: Watch the g-meter and keep it settled near the normal one g climb band.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,083 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Friedrichshafen Airport (EDNY), the Phenom 300E began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then accelerated down runway 24, achieving a takeoff distance of 490 meters, which represented 26% of the runway's length. At a liftoff speed of 124 knots, the aircraft successfully departed the ground.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 2,434 feet above sea level, eventually reaching 20,002 feet. This climb phase, which covered 19 nautical miles, was completed in 4 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 20,002 feet for 6 minutes while covering 40 nautical miles. The descent phase that followed, initiated over Huttwilen, Switzerland, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 19,974 feet to 8,633 feet in 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent phase over Pfaeffikon / Irgenhausen, Switzerland. This descent phase, which covered 31 nautical miles, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 8,007 feet to 2,633 feet in 8 minutes.
The Phenom 300E then initiated its final approach to runway 06 at EDNY, maintaining a heading of 60.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed successfully, with a touchdown distance of 51 meters and a touchdown speed of 109 knots. The total landing distance was 779 meters, representing 41% of the runway's length. Following a taxiing phase that lasted approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area. The total flight distance was 126 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 208 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 31 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was good, with a heading of 60.0° from the south west at 4 nm and 1,272 ft above ground level. The threshold speed of 111 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 51 m was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 109 kt was also satisfactory.
However, the touchdown rate was hard at -438 fpm, which may indicate a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which could be attributed to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with a minimal crosswind and tailwind component.
The aircraft's rollout was well-executed, with a very good alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 779 m was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to achieve a safe and controlled landing.
