MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 144 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.6 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.6 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,626 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 666 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 to the runway at PAKT Ketchikan International Airport, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll from runway 11 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 1,013 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 24 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 24 knots. The enroute climb started overhead 5KE Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base, where the aircraft ascended from 1,015 feet above sea level to 40,399 feet, an increase of 39,384 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 19 miles northeast of CAP7 Kitkatla Seaplane Base, lasting 76 minutes and covering 357 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 41,058 feet to 18,366 feet, a decrease of 22,692 feet in 7 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, which started 5 miles southeast of CYYJ Victoria International Airport and lasted 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 5 miles southeast of Oak Bay, where the aircraft descended from 18,367 feet to 14,008 feet, a decrease of 4,358 feet in 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. Another level cruise started 7 miles north of Jamestown, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 13,386 feet to 11,596 feet, a decrease of 1,791 feet in 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting 2 miles south of Suquamish and lasting 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 11,397 feet to 2,317 feet, a decrease of 9,080 feet in 8 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. Another level cruise started 1 mile north of Lakeland South, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport was from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,103 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34R was smooth, with a touchdown point 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 10 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,400 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 602 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes and using 1,420 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport on runway 34R, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,103 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, resulting in a smooth touchdown.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 120 knots was well within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was located 244 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which could have contributed to the extended touchdown point.
Despite the minor issues with touchdown speed and point, the pilot demonstrated excellent control during the landing, with a smooth touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,400 meters was 39% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, minor adjustments to touchdown speed and point could have resulted in an even more precise and efficient landing.
