MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.8°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 8.6 ft, and this flight then touched down at 377 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 six 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 4,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 16L at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 3,420 meters, which was 93% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and 8-knot winds at 210°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from KDEN, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of the airport and climbing from 6,364 feet above sea level to 44,163 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,799 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued until the aircraft reached a cruising altitude, where it leveled off and began its first enroute level cruise. This cruise started 2 miles northwest of 09CO Cottonwood Field Rocky Ford and lasted 38 minutes, covering a distance of 346 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Iowa Park, Texas, and descending from 44,835 feet above sea level to 12,017 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,819 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off again and began its second enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of 7XA2 Sagebrush Airport Justin and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting 1 mile south of 0TS1 Dooley Airport Justin, and descending from 11,406 feet above sea level to 1,922 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,484 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off again and began its third enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Mansfield, Texas, and lasting 10 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, coming in from the south at a heading of 0.0° and 4 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 36L, with a runway length of 4,095 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 120 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 358 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 114 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and 16-knot winds at 330°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 604 nautical miles, taking 98 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,197 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and was at the correct height as it approached the threshold. The threshold speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance of 358 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and had not over-extended the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -365 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and winds of 16 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted.
The total landing distance of 849 meters was 21% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had managed to bring the aircraft to a stop within a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.4%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the approach and landing phases was demonstrated, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the local weather conditions.
