MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 90 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 104 kt against a rotation target of 90 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 90 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
On final, shallow the descent to match the target approach angle rather than flying a steeper path.
What happened: On final approach at the Final 3 stage, the descent angle was steeper than the target approach path.
Watch for: Watch the approach angle against the target, aiming to keep it closer to 3.2 degrees.
See Arrival Final 3
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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,463 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 858 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Vision Jet aircraft, departing from runway 11 at Kodiak Airport (PADQ) in Alaska, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,278 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 104 knots, with a local temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 120°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kodiak Airport, it reached an altitude of 29,082 feet above sea level (asl) in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 13 miles northeast of Port Williams Seaplane Base (KPR) and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Lowell Field (00AK) and descending from 29,152 feet asl to 4,330 feet asl in 18 minutes, covering 76 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a series of climbs and descents, with the aircraft climbing from 4,327 feet asl to 4,904 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and descend, with a series of level cruises in between. One of the level cruises started 10 miles west of Fire Island Airport (6AK5) and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. Another level cruise started 1 mile west of Fire Island Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC), flying from the north at a heading of 169.0° and an altitude of 1,396 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 10,463 feet. The threshold height was above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 76 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 854 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 69 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 260°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 276 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 564 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, achieving a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,396 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 854 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively decelerating upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,533 feet was 15% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft performed well during the landing, with a good touchdown distance and a fair touchdown rate. However, there were some minor deviations in the alignment and speed, which may have been due to the challenging weather conditions and the pilot's experience.
