MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 23 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 23 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 23 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 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,787 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 to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 14 at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas. The takeoff distance was 5,522 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southeast of the airport and reached an altitude of 37,196 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,153 feet from the initial altitude of 1,043 feet. This climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles northwest of Scotland Cay in the Bahamas. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 151 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 55 miles northeast of Orchid in Florida, United States. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 37,160 feet to 1,375 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 17L at Orlando International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 422 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was -171 feet per minute, indicating a smooth landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,234 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 358 nautical miles and took 77 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7,180 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport on runway 17L, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 422 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation given the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 4,234 feet was 47% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency.
