MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 15 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 15 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 15 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 05 at Brigadier Antonio Parodi Airport, also known as SAVE. The takeoff distance was 1,110 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 323 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Brigadier Antonio Parodi Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,541 feet above sea level to 38,737 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,196 feet, in 40 minutes and covering a distance of 319 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 24 miles west of General Conesa in the Rio Negro Province, Argentina. This phase of the flight lasted for 137 minutes and covered a distance of 1,217 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 107 miles northeast of Lagoa in the Santa Catarina, Brazil. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,128 feet above sea level to 1,313 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,816 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 297 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, also known as SBGL, was made from the northwest, heading 125.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -198 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 978 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,839 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 213 minutes. The aircraft used 9,700 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 15 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 125.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 128 knots. The touchdown point was located 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions.
The total landing distance of 978 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, which is a desirable outcome. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. The minor deviations in touchdown point and runway alignment were not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
