MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 178 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 157 kt against a target of 178 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 178 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power on approach to bring threshold speed back to 115 kt.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 137 kt, 22 kt above the 115 kt target, then ballooned in the flare as the excess speed met the flare's back pressure. Crossing fast and ballooning like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 115 kt at the threshold
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 115 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 1,826 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 894 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 09L at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, covering 4 nm in 16 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 09L, the Challenger 350 used 582 m of runway, representing 15 % of the available length, and rotated at 117 kt. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind from 080° at 24 kt, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 24 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead KATL, with the aircraft ascending from 1,991 ft asl to 44,987 ft asl, a gain of 42,996 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 123 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 mi southeast of Milan, Georgia, and persisted for 58 minutes, during which 439 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 12 mi east of 07FA Ocean Reef Club Airport, Key Largo, Florida, with the aircraft descending from 45,005 ft asl to 5,464 ft asl, a loss of 39,541 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 127 nm.
A brief cruise followed, overhead FA74 Romor Ranch Airport, Ochopee, Florida, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The second descent began 2 mi northeast of KTNT Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport, Miami, Florida, with a reduction from 5,524 ft asl to 1,332 ft asl, a decrease of 4,192 ft in 8 minutes across 25 nm.
Final approach to runway 09R at KTMB Miami Executive Airport involved a descent from 1,422 ft agl to 25 ft agl in 100 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 09R, which is 1,826 m long, the threshold height of 77 ft agl and threshold speed of 138 kt were both well above target. The touchdown point utilized more than 50 % of the available runway; touchdown speed was 108 kt and touchdown rate was minus 193 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 5.2 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 32 °C with a wind from 161° at 9 kt, including a 9 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
The rollout recorded a total landing distance of 1,404 m, representing 77 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s rollout alignment was misaligned 16.2 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 735 nm, took 131 minutes, and consumed 1,656 kg of fuel.
