MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 6.1°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 100 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 107 kt against a target of 100 kt, 7 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 100 kt by the gate and held to 100 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed 73 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Piarco International Airport, the ATR 72 aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 10, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,490 meters, or 47% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 121 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 96 degrees, resulting in a 9-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Piarco International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,102 feet above sea level to 7,293 feet, an increase of 6,191 feet, within a 4-minute period and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. Following a brief enroute level cruise of 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent 17 miles northeast of Arima, descending from 7,319 feet to 1,283 feet, a decrease of 6,036 feet, within a 6-minute period and covering 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 11 at A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the west at a heading of 95.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The aircraft landed on runway 11, utilizing 1,385 meters, or 57% of the runway, to come to a stop. The touchdown point was 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was excellent at -77 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 54 nautical miles, taking 26 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 293 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 11 at TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 95.0° at 4 nm and 1,243 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 107 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 166 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 102 kt. Despite this, the touchdown rate was excellent at -77 fpm, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 17 kt at 77°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 16 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,385 m, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. During the rollout phase, the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 8.3 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was scored 95.6%, reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
