MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,976 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,449 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,287 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Paradise, Nevada, where the aircraft ascended from 3,173 feet above sea level to 38,895 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,722 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles south of 42NA DOCILF Nada, Utah, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 355 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles east of Rexburg, Idaho, where it descended from 39,137 feet above sea level to 5,678 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,459 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 136.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 1,122 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was -187 feet per minute, also within the acceptable range.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 49 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,164 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 630 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes. The aircraft used 10,420 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, achieving a high score of 91.1%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the northwest, with a heading of 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots. The touchdown point was located 1,122 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 49°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway length at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is 8,976 feet, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance of 4,164 feet was 46% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point accuracy and runway rollout alignment.
