MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 27 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 113 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 228 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,325 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 6.4° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,885 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 821 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, covering 2 nm in 8 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 09 at KSAN San Diego International Airport, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,716 ft, representing 20 % of the runway, and lifted off at 98 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 73 °F, wind 4 kt from 330°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead San Diego, with the airplane ascending from 1,006 ft asl to 28,375 ft asl - a gain of 27,369 ft - in 22 minutes while covering 76 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 mi southwest of Newport Beach and continued for 26 minutes, during which 134 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent began 10 mi east of CN23 Harvard Airport Yermo, dropping from 28,859 ft asl to 15,310 ft asl - a loss of 13,550 ft - in 8 minutes and traversing 41 nm.
A second cruise phase started 16 mi northeast of 0O2 Baker, lasting 10 minutes and covering 46 nm at constant altitude.
The next descent segment originated 2 mi southwest of KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, descending from 14,405 ft asl to 3,860 ft asl - a reduction of 10,545 ft - in 9 minutes while traveling 37 nm.
Final approach to runway 19L at KLAS proceeded from 1,795 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 85 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 19L was executed on a runway 8,885 ft long; the threshold speed was 88 kt, touchdown occurred 817 ft down the runway at 77 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was -229 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect, and local weather reported a temperature of 82 °F, wind 5 kt from 230°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,935 ft, representing 33 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, traveling 1 nm in 8 minutes.
In total, the flight covered 341 nm, required 91 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 618 lb of fuel.
The final approach to runway 19L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport descended from 1,795 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 85 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 88 kt.
Touchdown occurred 817 ft down the runway; the touchdown speed of 77 kt was a little fast and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 229 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 2,935 ft, representing 33 % of the 8,885-ft runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
With a score of 90.9 % the landing was solid; reducing touchdown speed slightly and refining the flare to achieve a gentler descent rate will tighten the remaining margins.
