MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,656 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 602 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR 72 departed from KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, rolling down runway 10R with a takeoff distance of 1,327 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 123 knots, with a local temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. As it departed the Boise area, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 3,912 feet above sea level to 5,258 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The climb continued as the aircraft headed southeast, eventually reaching an altitude of 18,745 feet above sea level after a 14-minute ascent from 5,421 feet. Following a brief level cruise, the aircraft began its descent, initially losing 1,302 feet in 2 minutes before leveling off again. The final descent from 17,142 feet to 5,614 feet took 8 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, touching down 181 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 103 knots. The total landing distance was 978 meters, accounting for 27% of the runway.
The flight concluded with a taxiing time of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 259 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 70 minutes and a fuel consumption of 734 kilograms. The aircraft performed well throughout the flight, with a very good runway touchdown alignment and a perfect runway rollout alignment. The local temperature at the time of landing was 13°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the aircraft meeting its performance targets.
The aircraft touched down on runway 16L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport with a threshold height of 56 ft agl, slightly above the target. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 116 kt, also slightly above the target. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 103 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -245 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration.
The touchdown point was located 181 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly off-center. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 978 m, which accounted for 27% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.1%. The slight deviations from target threshold height and speed were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
