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 5.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 165 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 98 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,232 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,232 ft of the 8,576 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,815 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 area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 06 at the Grand Bahama International Airport (MYGF) in the Bahamas. The takeoff distance was 2,445 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb started shortly after departure, with the aircraft ascending from 1,055 feet above sea level to 18,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,947 feet in 7 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles. This climb phase took place over the Grand Bahama International Airport.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 23 nautical miles. This phase began 11 miles west of West End in the Bahamas. The enroute descent phase started 8 miles east of the USS Carl Vinson (CVN76) in Florida, with the aircraft descending from 17,988 feet above sea level to 1,292 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,696 feet in 20 minutes and covering 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 08L, which had a length of 8,576 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -94 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 2,450 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with no crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,967 feet, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 121 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 3,286 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 08L. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 2,450 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected area. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 5,967 feet was within the acceptable range, covering approximately 70% of the runway length. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre by 25 feet, which may require some correction to maintain a straight path.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown and rollout positions. These deviations can be addressed through adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures to ensure a more precise and controlled touchdown.
