MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 142 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 365 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 m touchdown sits inside 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 Diagoras Airport, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 06, with a takeoff distance of 812 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 9°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Kremasti, where the aircraft climbed from 969 feet above sea level to 31,974 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,005 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 19 miles north of Astypalaia Airport, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 14 miles north of Amorgos, where it descended from 31,918 feet above sea level to 5,008 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,910 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 14 miles west of Ano Syros, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 16 nautical miles. It then began its descent 15 miles southeast of Lavrio, where it descended from 4,997 feet above sea level to 4,437 feet above sea level, a decrease of 560 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 9 miles southeast of Legrena, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. It then began its descent 7 miles south of Legrena, where it descended from 3,265 feet above sea level to 1,907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,358 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 11 miles southwest of Legrena, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 48 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -373 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and winds of 22 knots at 40°.
The total landing distance was 785 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 278 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,018 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03R, which has a length of 3,403 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 117 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -373 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 48 meters was within acceptable limits.
Despite a good touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 22 knots at 40°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 22-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 785 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that could be addressed to improve future landings.
