MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 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 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 625 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26R at Munich Airport (EDDM), with a takeoff distance of 1,203 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from Munich, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 2,521 feet to 19,942 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles. The cruise took place 2 miles south of Eichstaett, a town in Bavaria, Germany. After the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Sonderhofen, another town in Bavaria. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude from 19,910 feet to 1,614 feet.
The final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the east, with a heading of 249.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 2,795 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 201 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -205 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,288 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 177 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,449 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 201 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and smooth landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -205 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
Despite the minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which is relatively minor and did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,288 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.0%. The minor deviations in touchdown point and touchdown rate did not significantly impact the overall safety and quality of the landing.
