MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 33 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 33 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 33 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 2,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 25 at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LFPB). The takeoff distance was 1,118 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Dugny in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,158 feet above sea level to 29,954 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southeast of Fairlight in East Sussex, England. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 261 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles west of Tebay in Cumbria, England. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,598 feet to 2,618 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Lennoxtown in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport (EGPF), approaching from the northeast at a heading of 226.0 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 219 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -154 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 858 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 500 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 3,199 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Glasgow International Airport (EGPF) with an impressive score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 23, which has a length of 2,353 meters, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, reaching 118 knots. The touchdown point was located 84 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 104 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 219°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 15 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed. The total landing distance of 858 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft meeting or exceeding all relevant performance criteria.
