MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 52 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 565 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,828 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,828 m of the 4,072 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,022 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Phenom 300E began its journey with a taxiing period of 11 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 35, utilizing 902 meters, or 27% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 125 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 260°, resulting in a crosswind component of 10 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 61 nautical miles in 15 minutes, ascending from 936 feet above sea level to 41,010 feet. The climb phase was followed by a 35-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 958 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 6 miles east of OMAO Adh Dhayd Airport in the United Arab Emirates, where the aircraft descended from 40,998 feet to 38,709 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 34 miles west of FM04 Gulf of Oman Moving Carrier - CVN78, where the aircraft descended from 38,709 feet to 1,186 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
Upon approaching OOMS Muscat International Airport, the aircraft executed a final approach to runway 26L from the east, aligning with a heading of 265.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,156 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point located 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 100 knots and touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the journey in 91 minutes and covering a total distance of 1,227 nautical miles, while consuming 1,317 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26L at OOMS Muscat International Airport, a 3,162-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 114 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 100 knots and a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly further than ideal. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.1 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal alignment. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 4 knots from 350 degrees, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,238 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.3 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal alignment. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 94.7%.
