MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 7.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 40 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 40 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 40 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 02 at FMCH Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni, Grande Comore, Comoros. The takeoff distance was 1,118 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching an altitude of 37,836 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant increase of 36,791 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 224 nautical miles.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 8 miles north of FQNC Nacala Airport in Nampula, Mozambique. This phase lasted for 302 minutes, covering a distance of 963 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles northwest of FADK Mubatuba Airport in Mubatuba, South Africa. The descent was a significant decrease of 33,546 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles east of FAVG Virginia Airport in Durban, South Africa. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Durban. The descent was a decrease of 2,434 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at FALE King Shaka International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 37.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,025 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,314 nautical miles, taking 196 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,894 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at FALE King Shaka International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots. The touchdown point was located 130 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The runway length of 3,739 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,025 meters, or 27% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
