MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 19 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 19 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 19 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 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 1,641 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,641 m of the 3,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 765 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, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, located in Paris, France. The takeoff distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 59 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started over the Charles de Gaulle International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,390 feet above sea level to 19,305 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,914 feet in 8 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started over the town of Collegien in France and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, this time from 19,360 feet above sea level to 37,634 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,274 feet in 14 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles. The level cruise phase that followed started over the town of Bizeneuille in France and lasted for 59 minutes, covering a distance of 454 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 30 miles south of Ses Salines in Spain. The descent from 38,089 feet above sea level to 14,874 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,215 feet in 11 minutes and covering 75 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 47 miles north of Ain Taya in Algeria and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final descent phase started 38 miles north of Ain Taya, where the aircraft descended from 14,608 feet above sea level to 1,365 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,242 feet in 11 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at Houari Boumediene Airport, located in Algeria, from the northeast, heading 233.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 343 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -153 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 70 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,553 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 8 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 748 nautical miles, taking 130 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,975 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Houari Boumediene Airport, with a final approach score of 90.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 3,486 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 343 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,553 meters, which is approximately 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. While there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and complete the landing safely.
