MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 3°.
What happened: The wings held 3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 4.5° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 80 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 87 kt, 7 kt above the 80 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 80 kt at the threshold.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,424 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 02, with a takeoff distance of 786 feet, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,582 feet above sea level and reached 3,331 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute climb took place 1 mile southwest of Tega Cay, South Carolina. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles, starting 1 mile east of SC08 Bethel-Lake Wylie Airport York.
The aircraft continued to follow a series of enroute climbs and descents, with each segment lasting between 2 and 7 minutes and covering distances ranging from 4 to 18 nautical miles. These segments took place over various locations in South Carolina, including Hickory Grove, Cowpens, and Reidville. The aircraft also entered several level cruises, lasting between 3 and 7 minutes and covering distances ranging from 7 to 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at KGSP Greenville Spartanburg International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 31.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,424 feet and a touchdown speed of 76 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -58 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from 170 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was also 4 knots. The total landing distance was 2,834 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 84 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used 144 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) on runway 04. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, achieving a good threshold height and speed of 88 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,424 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 76 knots was well-managed. The most notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal landing, as the aircraft touched down 15 feet off the centerline of the runway. Despite this minor misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 41°F and winds of 5 knots from 170°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 4 knots, which did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. Overall, the pilot's performance was impressive, with a score of 98.5% indicating a high level of proficiency and skill.
