MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,710 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,710 m of the 2,503 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 577 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 742 meters, which was 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 139°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of the airport, and climbed from 1,043 feet above sea level to 15,112 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,069 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 24 miles south of Torre del Mar, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 27 miles northeast of the Gibraltar Strait, and descended from 15,107 feet above sea level to 2,505 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,602 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 13 miles north of Al Hoceima, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles northeast of Al Hoceima, and descended from 2,331 feet above sea level to 1,317 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,014 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at Cherif Al Idrissi Airport was made from the north, heading 173.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 2,503 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 292 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at 20 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 319°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,760 meters, which was 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 103 nautical miles, taking 31 minutes, and the aircraft used 398 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at GMTA Cherif Al Idrissi Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 2,503 meters.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 134 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been applying too much power during the approach. This could have contributed to the touchdown speed being fast at 126 knots.
Despite these issues, the touchdown rate was perfect at 20 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain a stable descent rate. The touchdown point was 292 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's alignment during the approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 319°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilot was able to successfully land the aircraft and maintain control during the rollout phase.
