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 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 17° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring speed back to 117 kt by the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 124 kt against a target of 117 kt, and the flare that followed strayed from its usual profile; this combination usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt at the threshold
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,144 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at Colonel James Jabara Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,482 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 92°F and winds of 20 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 12 knots, and the headwind was 16 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 2,288 feet above sea level to 44,424 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,137 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Macksville, Kansas, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 173 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 8 miles north of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, descending from 44,383 feet above sea level to 6,631 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,752 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at Denver International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 171 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 34R, with a runway length of 12,040 feet. The threshold height was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was good at 122 knots.
The touchdown point was 209 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -786 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 77°F and winds of 9 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,718 feet, which was 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 60 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, taking 99 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,819 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft's final approach was from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on a runway that was 12,040 feet long, providing a significant margin for error.
However, the aircraft's performance during the landing was not ideal. The threshold height at 138 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. On the other hand, the threshold speed was good at 122 knots, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown.
Despite the good threshold speed, the touchdown point was 209 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot had not managed to touch down exactly where they had intended. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to slow the aircraft down further before touchdown. The touchdown rate was also very heavy at -786 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the recommended rate.
In addition to these issues, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot had not managed to align the aircraft with the runway during the landing. This misalignment was also evident during the runway rollout, where the aircraft was misaligned by 60 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind of 9 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. Despite these relatively calm conditions, the pilot still managed to experience some difficulties during the landing.
Overall, while the aircraft was able to land safely, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot will need to work on improving their skills and techniques to ensure that future landings are more precise and controlled.
