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 1.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 246 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 3,905 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 400 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 09R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in Paris, France. The takeoff distance was 1,930 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Mauregard, a town in the Ile-de-France region of France, and continued to an altitude of 38,994 feet above sea level (asl). This climb phase covered a distance of 276 nautical miles and took 41 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 37,702 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Marlioz, a town in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This cruise phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 255 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 10 miles north of Marciana Marina, a town in the Toscana region of Italy. The descent phase covered a distance of 109 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 36,091 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead the LIIE Bracciano Air Base Canale Monterano in Italy. This short cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead the LIXU Campo di Volo Sangermano Valcanneto in Italy. The descent phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and took 2 minutes, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 1,194 feet.
The final approach to runway 16R at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 163.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16R, which had a length of 3,905 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 123 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 401 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -170 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was also 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 836 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 661 nautical miles, and the flight took 109 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 4,183 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on runway 16R. The final approach was executed from the north, with a heading of 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of precision, achieving a score of 99.8% for the landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 123 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 401 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the expected range, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was also minimal at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 836 meters was only 21% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight and stable path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the capabilities of the Boeing 737-600 aircraft and the skills of the pilots involved.
