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 6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.
What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.
Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle
See Arrival Final 4
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 14L at AYPY Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,515 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Port Moresby, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 66°. The enroute climb started 2 miles southeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,044 feet above sea level to 18,512 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,468 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 10 miles west of Port Moresby and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 71 miles southwest of AYRK Kairuku Airport, where it climbed from 18,534 feet above sea level to 37,285 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,751 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then continued for a significant period, starting 23 miles north of YSTI Stephens Island Seaplane Base and lasting for 165 minutes, covering a distance of 1,067 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 55 miles south of Angaur, where it descended from 37,472 feet above sea level to 20,919 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,553 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started again 53 miles southeast of ANG Angaur Angaur Island and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent 56 miles southeast of Kloulklubed, where it descended from 20,919 feet above sea level to 1,811 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,108 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at PTRO Babelthuap Airport was from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,618 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 1,051 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 09, with a touchdown distance of 383 meters and a touchdown speed of 117 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -548 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 73°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 900 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,409 nautical miles, taking a total of 243 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,920 kilograms of fuel.
The FWB Infinity Airways aircraft successfully landed at PTRO Babelthuap Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 91.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,618 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 2,189 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 126 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 383 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly below the expected value, but still considered good. The touchdown rate of -548 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a headwind of 9 knots at 73°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 900 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the desired path during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered good, but with some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
