MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 23 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 23 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 23 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 1,784 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,784 m of the 3,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 552 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,447 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 169 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 139 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 37,663 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 203 nautical miles and took 33 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 36,674 feet. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for 94 minutes, covering a distance of 663 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 2 miles south-east of Taskent, Turkey, and took the aircraft down from a height of 37,471 feet to 1,472 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,999 feet in just 17 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36C at LTAI Antalya International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 6.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36C was successful, with the aircraft touching down 140 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 90 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,707 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 960 nautical miles, taking 163 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 7,361 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LTAI Antalya International Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 6.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 36C, which has a length of 3,404 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 140 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters, but the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,707 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which prevented the aircraft from achieving a perfect score.
