MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 16°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft, a Jaguar A220/11 Vosges 11-MW, began its takeoff roll on runway 13 at EGOV Anglesey Airport, requiring a takeoff distance of 750 meters, which equates to 33% of the runway's length. At a liftoff speed of 148 knots, the aircraft safely departed the ground, utilizing the available runway and wind conditions. Local temperatures were pleasant at 19°C, with a moderate wind blowing at 25 knots from a northeasterly direction, resulting in a crosswind of 24 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots.
Once airborne, the aircraft proceeded to climb to various altitudes, alternating between level cruise phases and steady climbs. The first level cruise lasted for one minute and covered seven nautical miles south of Rhosneigr, Anglesey, Wales. The initial climb phase started one mile northwest of EGCK Caernarfon Airport and culminated in an altitude increase of 599 feet over two minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. Following a level cruise near Criccieth, the aircraft initiated another climb from two miles west of Dyffryn Ardudwy, achieving an altitude gain of 626 feet within two minutes and also covering 11 nautical miles.
This pattern of level cruise and climb phases persisted across various geographical locations. Near Dolgellau, the aircraft initiated a descent phase, decreasing by 1,295 feet in two minutes, covering eight nautical miles, and eventually reaching a height of 385 feet above sea level. Furthermore, multiple climb and descent phases occurred in the vicinity of Machynlleth and Dolgellau, respectively, with significant altitude changes observed.
The final level cruise phase took place overhead Bodedern, Anglesey. Prior to the landing, the aircraft embarked on a final approach from the northwestern quadrant, maintaining a heading of 130.0° at an altitude of 390 feet above ground level, just one nautical mile away from EGOV Anglesey Airport's runway 13. At 17°C and moderate wind conditions, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 13 with good touchdown distance and touchdown speed, but displayed a very hard touchdown rate of -576 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment were near perfect.
Overall, the flight used a total of 3,021 kilograms of fuel and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles within a duration of 21 minutes.
A recent aircraft landing incident occurred with the Jaguar A, a type of aircraft commonly used by the French Air Force, specifically with the 2/11 Vosges squadron. The landing took place at EGOV Anglesey Airport, a relatively small airfield located in the UK.
As the aircraft began its final approach towards runway 13 at Anglesey Airport, it was positioned at 1 nautical mile away from the field and at an altitude of 390 feet above ground level (AGL), headed in the northwest direction at 130.0 degrees. The approach was carried out from the northwest, which presented a potential challenge due to the crosswind component, which measured 17 knots.
Despite the challenging conditions, the pilot maintained good control and executed a smooth touchdown on the runway. However, the landing involved a very hard touchdown rate, with a rate of -576 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown can be problematic, as it may increase the risk of damage to the aircraft's undercarriage and pose a risk to the safety of passengers on board.
Fortunately, the pilot was able to compensate for the hard touchdown by achieving good touchdown speed, at 150 knots, and maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. Given the relatively short runway length of 2,288 meters, a smooth and controlled landing was crucial to avoiding any potential issues.
The impact of the crosswind was somewhat mitigated by a 7 knot tailwind component, which is less than the crosswind component of 17 knots. Overall, the pilot of the Jaguar A aircraft demonstrated good skills and control, and the landing was considered satisfactory, with a final score of 90.6%.
