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 6.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Carry more power on short final to hold 113 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay before the flare.
What happened: The threshold was crossed at 112 kt against a VREF of 113 kt, already below target, and the sink was fully arrested at 11 ft with speed continuing to bleed off - crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries forward into the aircraft settling on as the speed runs out, rather than flying onto the mains.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 113 kt on short final.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,428 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a C750, then departed from runway 24 at Shannon Airport (EINN) in Ireland. The takeoff distance was 3,059 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 140 knots, with a local temperature of 63°F and wind conditions of 25 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 24 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Shannon Airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 39,393 feet. This climb covered a distance of 119 nautical miles and took 20 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 38,365 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 56 miles west of Clifden Airport (EIIB) in Ireland and lasting for 240 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2,306 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 30 miles south of Southport in the United States, with the aircraft descending from 40,518 feet to 1,711 feet in just 15 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at North Central State Airport (KSFZ) was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 32.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 at KSFZ was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 105 knots and a distance of 1,432 feet. The touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 63°F and a wind of 9 knots at 30 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,555 nautical miles, taking a total of 281 minutes and using 5,047 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KSFZ North Central State Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 5,004 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 112 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 1,432 feet, and the touchdown speed of 105 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a headwind of 9 knots at 30°.
The total landing distance of 2,861 feet was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's weight and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
