MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 115 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 99 kt, 16 kt before the 115 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 115 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 114 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 121 kt against the 114 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 508 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 114 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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 99 kt, 16 kt below the 115 kt target, and lifted off at 104 kt 1.7 s later, the nose coming up at 5.6° a second. Climb 3 averaged 131 kt, 12 kt under its 143 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 946 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,950 m of runway left; gear up at 11 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,690 fpm on average to 946 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,565 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted left of the centreline, 2.3 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.1 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 13 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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: speed more than 29 kt above the approach speed of 114 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 1.7 nm, about 510 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 1,000 ft gate and before the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 110 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 2.5 nm, then drifted 105 m left between 2.5 and 1.7 nm, then inside the band from 1.7 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 29 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 4 nm to 2.9 nm (up to +67 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 3.2° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 508 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 062° at 15 kt · 15 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 95 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.36 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 55 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 32 ft. Touched down 508 m in, 203 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 490 fpm at the flare to 180 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,833 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.2 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.4 m right at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL), the ATR 42 aircraft began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated the departure roll on runway 10L, utilizing 349 meters, or 15% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 104 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 23 knots at a direction of 70 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,000 feet above sea level to 18,658 feet, a vertical increase of 17,658 feet, over a distance of 70 nautical miles, within a timeframe of 20 minutes. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead KFLL, marking the beginning of the level cruise phase. The aircraft then transitioned to a series of enroute descents and level cruises, navigating through the Bahamas airspace, with notable stops including the vicinity of MYBS, MYBG, and Nassau. The final approach to runway 07 at North Eleuthera Airport (MYEH) was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 70.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,448 feet above ground level.
The aircraft executed a go-around at 77 feet above ground level before successfully landing on runway 07, with a touchdown point located 78 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 109 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 254 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 84 minutes and a fuel consumption of -382 kilograms.
