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 4.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 212 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 262 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,643 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,643 ft of the 10,560 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,237 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a 20-minute taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,914 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,063 feet above sea level to 36,059 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,996 feet in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of New Market, Pennsylvania. This phase lasted for 249 minutes and covered a distance of 1,617 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles west of KSNO Snowflake Airport in Arizona. The descent from 35,977 feet above sea level to 5,247 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,731 feet, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of Rio Verde, Arizona, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Tolleson, Arizona. The descent from 4,857 feet above sea level to 2,410 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,448 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 10,560 feet. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,874 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 110°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,380 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,881 nautical miles, taking a total of 320 minutes, and the aircraft used 30,594 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) on runway 08. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots.
The touchdown point was located 1,874 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled and the pilots were able to maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. The runway length of 10,560 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 6,380 feet, or 60% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain a precise course and speed during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
