MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 436 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 464 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nashville International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 20C, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21 °C, a wind speed of 7 kt at 169°, and a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 6 kt.
As the aircraft departed, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 149 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 1,198 meters, which was 49% of the available runway length. The initial climb phase began 1 mile south of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,504 feet above sea level to 4,784 feet, an increase of 3,280 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered 24 nautical miles. The climb phase resumed 4 miles north of Goodlettsville, where the aircraft ascended from 5,004 feet to 36,996 feet, an increase of 31,992 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, which lasted for 55 minutes and covered 444 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Newark Liberty International Airport, it began its descent phase, starting 2 miles northwest of Jersey Shore Airport. The aircraft descended from 36,997 feet to 31,000 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The level cruise phase resumed 5 miles northwest of Benton, lasting for 9 minutes and covering 69 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed 2 miles south of High Meadow Farms Airport, where the aircraft descended from 30,779 feet to 16,061 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, before beginning its final approach to runway 22L at KEWR. The aircraft landed safely, with a touchdown point 188 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 126 kt. The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which was 51% of the available runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 870 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,745 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 138 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the north east. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a controlled approach. The threshold speed of 134 kt was also well-managed, indicating a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 126 kt was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -424 fpm was slightly harder than desired. This may have contributed to the aircraft's touchdown point being 188 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 14.2 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of the hard touchdown rate. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,084 m was 51% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.8 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing scored 87.5%, reflecting a good but not outstanding performance. The crew's ability to manage the approach and landing phases was evident, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
