MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 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 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 516 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25 at EGAA Belfast International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 640 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of EGAA Belfast International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,250 feet above sea level to 29,432 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,183 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 14 miles south of Castletown, Isle of Man, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles north of Llandudno, Wales, and descended from 29,455 feet above sea level to 3,282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,173 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Cheadle, Staffordshire, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Egginton, Derbyshire, England, and descended from 3,279 feet above sea level to 1,587 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,691 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at EGNX East Midlands Airport was made from the west, heading 88.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 2,580 meters. The threshold height at 67 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 121 knots.
The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 119 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,370 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 207 nautical miles, taking 38 minutes, and used 598 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 09, achieving an overall score of 88.1%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 121 knots.
The touchdown point was located 94 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,370 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. Upon rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 10.5 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft C750 demonstrated a satisfactory performance, with some areas for improvement identified. The pilots will need to work on achieving a more precise touchdown speed and aligning the aircraft more accurately with the runway centerline during rollout.
