MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 246 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 333 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-600 aircraft. The pre-flight preparation began with taxiing from the parking to the designated runway, which took a mere 2 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Upon reaching runway 30R at OMDB Dubai International Airport, the aircraft initiated its departure roll. The takeoff distance came out to be 1,177 meters, which accounted for 33% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a liftoff speed of 147 knots.
Local meteorological conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a high temperature of 42 degrees Celsius, with a slight tailwind of 5 knots at 10 degrees. These favorable conditions contributed to a smooth departure.
Following a brief climb from a starting altitude of 1,049 feet above sea level, the aircraft began its enroute climb from a position 1 mile northwest of OMDB Dubai International Airport. This steep ascent took the aircraft to an altitude of 38,225 feet, an increase of 37,177 feet in just 42 minutes, covering a distance of 279 nautical miles.
Once the cruising altitude was attained, the aircraft entered into level cruise mode. This lasted for 70 minutes, during which time the aircraft covered a tremendous distance of 1,147 nautical miles. The cruise took place at a position 7 miles northeast of Sur in Oman.
As the aircraft began its enroute descent from 38,938 feet above sea level to 2,558 feet above sea level, it experienced a descent of 36,380 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. This brief, yet steep, descent put the aircraft in a position 6 miles north of Panamaram in the State of Kerala, India.
Upon entering the final approach phase, the aircraft navigated through a heading of 226.0 degrees from the north east at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level. The aircraft aimed for a landing on runway 23 at VOCB Coimbatore International Airport, which had a length of 2,989 meters.
The approach was conducted under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a slight headwind of 4 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, weighing in at just 2 knots. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was satisfactory, coming in at 336 meters, or just 28% of the available runway length.
Unfortunately, the touchdown speed came in slightly high at 126 knots. The touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was fair, but the pilots were able to maintain perfect runway alignment throughout the landing roll. This ensured a trouble-free rollout.
Finally, the aircraft began its taxiing to the parking area, a process that took just a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the aircraft consumed a substantial amount of fuel, amounting to 9,389 kilograms. The total flight distance was 1,507 nautical miles, completing the journey in a time of 128 minutes.
The successful landing of the Boeing 737-600 at VOCB Coimbatore International Airport was marked by a high score of 99.7%. This indicates a nearly flawless execution of the final approach and landing maneuvers. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northeast at a bearing of 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level.
As the aircraft descended onto the runway, the threshold height was found to be satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target value of 135 kt, coming in at 136 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall outcome of the landing. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was considered good, as it was efficiently utilized within the runway.
The touchdown speed, at 126 kt, was a tad too fast. This was noted as a minor concern but did not affect the overall performance. Similarly, the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was rated as fair, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal rate.
In terms of alignment during the touchdown and rollout, the aircraft performed exceptionally well. It maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment and runway rollout alignment. The conditions on the day of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and wind speeds of 4 kt at 200°, resulting in a slight headwind of 4 kt and minimal crosswind effects.
These factors collectively contributed to a relatively short total landing distance of 838 meters, accounting for only 28% of the runway length. The runway in question is 2,989 meters long, providing an adequate margin for safety and efficient operations. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-600 was satisfactory, with minor concerns related to threshold speed and touchdown rate.
