MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 330 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, with a takeoff distance of 1,101 meters, which was 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 132 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,055 feet above sea level to 30,181 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,126 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 41 miles south west of MUCV Las Clavellinas Airport. This phase lasted for 46 minutes and covered a distance of 357 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 69 miles south of MYBO Ocean Cay Heliport. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 30,223 feet above sea level to 1,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,616 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at MYNN Lynden Pindling International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 91.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,577 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,526 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 117 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 330 meters, and the touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. The total landing distance was 724 meters, which was 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 575 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 100 minutes. The aircraft used 3,530 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Lynden Pindling International Airport (MYNN) with a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,577 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 2,526 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 330 meters was also considered good, indicating that the aircraft landed smoothly and within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed of 102 knots was within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher-than-desired touchdown rate.
The total landing distance of 724 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and within the expected parameters.
