MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 233 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 233 fpm next time
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 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Departure roll was executed on runway 01L at VECC Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport. The takeoff run measured 1,053 m, representing 37 % of the runway length, and liftoff was achieved at 139 kt. Ambient temperature was 33 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, resulting in a 3 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead VECC, ascending from 991 ft asl to 40,627 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,635 ft achieved in 44 minutes while covering 341 nm.
The first cruise segment began 24 nm north of Diphu (Assam, India) and continued for 145 minutes, during which 1,224 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 18 nm south of Yangquan (Shanxi Sheng, China), descending from 41,007 ft asl to 2,861 ft asl, a loss of 38,146 ft in 33 minutes and covering 216 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiating 3 nm south-west of Tongzhou (Beijing Shi, China), lasting 3 minutes and spanning 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 36L at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport reduced altitude from 1,320 ft agl to 50 ft agl in 107 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36L was performed on a runway 3,198 m long. The threshold speed was 125 kt, touchdown occurred 414 m down the runway at 116 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 147 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 5 kt from 274°, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 839 m, equivalent to 26 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was recorded as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,796 nm, required 230 minutes, and consumed 8,974 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 36L at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,320 ft agl to 50 ft agl in 107 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
Threshold speed was good at 125 kt and the aircraft touched down 414 m down the runway, a distance described as good. Touchdown speed was good at 116 kt, the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Total landing distance was 839 m, representing 26 % of the 3,198 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the current approach and flare technique while fine-tuning flare timing to keep the touchdown rate consistently around -150 fpm, and continue to preserve the excellent alignment achieved during rollout.
