MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 148 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 35 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 102 m past the target, landing at 559 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from VQPR Paro International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 15, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 1,018 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 130 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 120°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Paro International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of the airport, ascending from 8,285 feet above sea level to 40,729 feet above sea level in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 204 nautical miles. The climb was a significant increase of 32,443 feet, marking the beginning of the long-haul journey. The enroute level cruise phase started 8 miles southwest of Mirzapur, lasting 121 minutes and covering 969 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 38 miles southwest of VY03 Toungkomei, descending from 40,775 feet above sea level to 2,628 feet above sea level in 21 minutes, covering 149 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at VTSP Phuket International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 266.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,409 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at VTSP Phuket International Airport was executed with a total landing distance of 1,017 meters, accounting for 34% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -245 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 109°. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,347 nautical miles, taking 183 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,215 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 27 at VTSP Phuket International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 124 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 115 kt. This resulted in a touchdown rate of -245 fpm, which was considered fair.
The aircraft's touchdown point was 141 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle tailwind of 4 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, further facilitating a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,017 m was 34% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.9% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and point.
