MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 0.4 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,156 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,156 ft of the 9,989 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,246 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The B-739 taxied from the parking area to runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12, the aircraft used 7,323 ft of runway (82 % of available length) and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient temperature was 69 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 046° (crosswind 2 kt, headwind 0 kt).
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of KBZN, where the airplane rose from 5,372 ft asl to 36,591 ft asl-a gain of 31,220 ft-in 21 minutes while traversing 156 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began 7 miles northeast of Hardin, Montana, lasting 58 minutes and covering 498 nm.
Descent started 3 miles east of Ghent, Minnesota, with the aircraft descending from 36,994 ft asl to 8,089 ft asl, a loss of 28,904 ft in 16 minutes over 112 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mile northeast of Burnsville, Minnesota, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 6 nm.
The next descent segment began overhead Rosemount, Minnesota, dropping from 7,918 ft asl to 4,820 ft asl (3,097 ft) in 3 minutes while covering 9 nm.
A short cruise then started 2 miles north of Vermillion, Minnesota, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
Subsequent descent commenced 2 miles north of Vermillion, descending from 4,820 ft asl to 2,998 ft asl (1,822 ft) in 2 minutes across 4 nm.
The final cruise leg originated 1 mile southwest of 0MN0 Winner’s Landing Seaplane Base, St Paul Park, Minnesota, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.
On final approach to runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, the aircraft aligned from the southeast on a heading of 302.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl.
Landing on runway 30L (runway length 9,976 ft) occurred with a threshold height of 56 ft agl and a threshold speed of 150 kt; touchdown was recorded 932 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 143 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 1 fpm and a lateral deviation of 16 ft from the centreline. Local conditions were 64 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 272° (crosswind 2 kt, headwind 3 kt).
The rollout distance measured 4,942 ft, representing 50 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was reported as very good.
The B-739 taxied from the runway to the parking area in another 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight logged 798 nm, required 121 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 11,875 lb of fuel.
The B739 executed the final approach to runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport from the southeast, tracking a heading of 302.0° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl. Local weather was 64 °F with wind 4 kt from 272°, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at 56 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was good at 150 kt.
Touchdown occurred 932 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 143 kt that was good and a touchdown rate of minus 1 fpm that was perfect. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline and the total landing distance measured 4,942 ft, representing 50 % of the 9,976 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was very good as the aircraft decelerated along the runway.
To bring the threshold crossing height into target, a modest reduction of the final glide path is recommended. Aligning the touchdown point more closely with the centreline will eliminate the 16 ft offset and further improve precision.
