MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 146 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 165 kt against a rotation target of 146 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 146 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 35 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 35 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 35 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 4,013 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 646 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A330-900, then departed from runway 30R at OBBI Bahrain International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,745 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 282 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Al Muharraq, and climbed from an altitude of 994 feet above sea level to 39,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,994 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 59 miles north of OEKN Khurais and lasted for 63 minutes, covering a distance of 465 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 44 miles north of OE43 Arfa Airport Ta'if, and descended from an altitude of 40,024 feet above sea level to 1,262 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,763 feet, in 34 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport was made from the south, heading 340.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 4,013 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 259 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The touchdown point was 261 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,454 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 707 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,841 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A330-900 successfully landed at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 340.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 34°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 259°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 34R, which has a length of 4,013 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 133 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 261 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions, including a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, did not significantly impact the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,454 meters, which is 36% of the runway length, is also a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 96.8%.
