MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 13 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 205 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,407 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,407 m of the 3,171 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 662 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 15 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then rolled onto runway 09C, taking off with a distance of 1,826 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport into a local temperature of 21°C and wind conditions of 15 knots at 50°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it passed overhead Rosemont, Illinois, and continued to ascend to a maximum altitude of 38,877 feet above sea level. The climb phase lasted 22 minutes and covered a distance of 159 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Jackson, Michigan, and lasted 13 minutes, covering 105 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and locations, including a brief level cruise phase near CWF3 Warren, Ontario, before beginning its descent into Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport.
The final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 227.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,467 feet above ground level. The landing was completed with a touchdown point 322 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -140 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,402 meters, accounting for 75% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 19 minutes to cover a distance of 4 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 433 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,773 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a threshold height of 67 ft agl, slightly above the target of 50 ft. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 149 kt, marginally above the target of 145 kt. The touchdown point was located 322 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot.
The touchdown characteristics were generally smooth, with a touchdown speed of 144 kt, which was a little fast, and a touchdown rate of -140 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 0 kt and headwind of 6 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and wind at 6 kt from 230 °, did not pose significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,402 m was 75% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance scored 87.8%, reflecting a satisfactory but not outstanding execution of the landing.
