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 3.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 25 ft instead of holding it level.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 25 ft and held there instead of being let down.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,331 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,178 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 94 kt, covering a distance of 1,284 ft, which was 16% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 62 °F and a wind speed of 9 kt from 189 °, resulting in a 9 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport and continued until it reached a cruising altitude of 29,818 ft. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,072 ft to 29,818 ft, an increase of 28,746 ft, in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nm. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 193 nm, with the aircraft flying 3 miles south west of Rio Grande.
The enroute descent phase began 32 miles west of SAXW Coy Aike Airport Rio Gallegos, where the aircraft started its descent from 29,838 ft to 2,130 ft, a decrease of 27,708 ft, in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nm. The final approach to runway 25 at SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport was made from the east, heading 262.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,455 ft above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 25, which had a length of 8,331 ft. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 75 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 1,174 ft, and the touchdown speed was 61 kt, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -200 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61 °F and a wind speed of 11 kt from 260 °, resulting in a 1 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,486 ft, which was 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 344 nm, and the flight duration was 89 minutes, during which the aircraft used 646 lbs of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 25 from the east, heading 262.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,455 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrated a well-executed approach procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 61 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,174 ft was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -200 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a headwind of 11 kt. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, which contributed to the successful landing. The runway length of 8,331 ft provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 2,486 ft, which accounted for only 30% of the runway, was a testament to the aircraft's efficient landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport was a success, with a score of 99.6% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
