MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 649 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,635 meters, which was 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 120°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
After a short taxiing period of 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft began its enroute climb. The climb started 1 mile east of SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport and took the aircraft from 1,003 feet above sea level to 32,011 feet, an increase of 31,008 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 96 miles northeast of Z00S Cullen Cullen, and lasted for 184 minutes, covering a distance of 1,077 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute climb, which started 2 miles north of SAB5 Poblet Poblet, and took the aircraft from 33,730 feet to 35,752 feet, an increase of 2,022 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 11 miles southeast of Juan L. Lacaze, and lasted for 1,264 minutes, covering a distance of 1,524 nautical miles. This was followed by an enroute descent, which started 15 miles west of Coaraci, and took the aircraft from 36,166 feet to 1,880 feet, a decrease of 34,286 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport was made from the west, heading 78.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,818 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 220 meters beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 145 knots, and a touchdown rate of -664 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 90°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,320 meters, which was 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area.
The total flight distance was 5,930 nautical miles, taking 392 minutes, and the aircraft used 18,623 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,818 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 220 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -664 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,320 meters was 44% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to execute a precise and controlled landing, taking into account the wind conditions and the aircraft's performance characteristics.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without incident.
