MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 9.7° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,671 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,671 m of the 4,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 628 m 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 to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FWB Infinity Airways, then departed from runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 1,001 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 25 knots blowing from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it to an altitude of 38,906 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 149 nautical miles and took 25 minutes to complete.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles. This phase took place 65 miles northeast of Rudsar, Iran. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 27 miles northeast of Karaj, Iran. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,227 feet to 6,104 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,123 feet in just 11 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase took place 9 miles west of Robat Karim, Iran. The aircraft then began its final descent, which took it from an altitude of 6,075 feet to 4,669 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,407 feet in just 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11L at OIIE Imam Khomeini International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 113.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 11L, which had a length of 4,190 meters. The threshold speed was 135 knots, and the touchdown point was 207 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots blowing from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,584 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 330 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 70 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 2,376 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB Infinity Airways aircraft successfully landed at OIIE Imam Khomeini International Airport, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 11L was conducted from the west, with a heading of 113.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots. The touchdown point was located 207 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.8 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,584 meters, which is approximately 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone may be areas for improvement in future landings.
