MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 40 kt fast at 223 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 183 kt in the climb
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 93 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 93 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 1,483 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,373 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,373 m of the 3,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,483 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Jeju International Airport, the Boeing 737 Max 8 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. With the runway 25 at RKPC cleared for departure, the aircraft started its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 158 knots in 1,729 meters, which was 54% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a calm wind at 277°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Jeju International Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 22,993 feet above sea level in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 1,020 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude as it approached its destination. The descent phases were interspersed with brief periods of level cruise, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable altitude before continuing its descent. The final approach to Incheon International Airport was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 111 knots and a touchdown distance of 306 meters.
The landing rollout was completed in a distance of 768 meters, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 278 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 2,512 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and performance capabilities. The local weather conditions at Incheon International Airport were similar to those at Jeju International Airport, with a temperature of 15°C and a calm wind at 282°. The flight was executed safely and efficiently, with a good touchdown speed and a hard touchdown rate, but the landing rollout was slightly longer than expected.
The final approach to landing at Incheon International Airport was executed with a high degree of precision, with the aircraft descending from 1,039 feet above ground level (agl) to 1 nm at 1 nm. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a steady rate of descent and a smooth transition into the flare. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 111 knots, which was within the acceptable range for a safe touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a hard touchdown rate of -436 feet per minute (fpm), which was slightly above the recommended threshold. However, the touchdown distance of 306 meters was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made the necessary adjustments to ensure a safe landing. The aircraft's centreline alignment was also satisfactory, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the rollout phase.
The landing rollout was completed at an altitude of 22 feet above sea level (asl), with a distance of 768 meters. The overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 93.3%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 0 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach and landing.
