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 25 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 7,229 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,229 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,551 ft 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,384 feet, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 89°F and winds of 2 knots at 149°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from KPVD, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Warwick, Rhode Island. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,103 feet above sea level to 33,619 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,516 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles west of Preston-Potter Hollow, New York. This cruise phase lasted for 188 minutes and covered a distance of 1,276 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles north of Fleming, Colorado. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 33,885 feet above sea level to 12,774 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,111 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of 9CO7 Beaugh Airport Kersey, Colorado. This cruise phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles southwest of CO70 Uhrich Airport Greeley, Colorado. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 12,028 feet above sea level to 6,690 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,338 feet.
As the aircraft approached KDEN Denver International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 17R from the north, heading 181.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17R, which was 12,039 feet long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,233 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -17 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88°F and winds of 2 knots at 0°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 7,011 feet, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,530 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 256 minutes. The aircraft used 24,652 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Denver International Airport (KDEN) on runway 17R, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 58 feet agl, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 148 knots. The touchdown point was located 1,233 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a bit faster than desired, suggesting that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was perfect at -17 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, demonstrating the pilots' precision and skill in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 7,011 feet was 58% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a halt. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at KDEN was a successful operation, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway and bringing it to a safe stop.
