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 2.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 122 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 235 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: 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 3,491 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 528 m 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 26R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The takeoff distance was 878 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 179 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south west of Le Mesnil-Amelot, France, and reached an altitude of 39,001 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,294 feet asl. This climb took 41 minutes and covered a distance of 319 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of Haggenschwil, Switzerland, and lasted for 70 minutes, covering a distance of 601 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile north east of Turcinesti, Romania, and descended from 39,000 feet asl to 2,632 feet asl in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile south west of Stefanestii de Jos, Romania, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport (LROP) was made from the east, heading 264.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,149 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 26L was successful, with a touchdown point 106 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was good at -188 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 250 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 953 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,074 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 141 minutes. The aircraft used 6,334 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport on runway 26L. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,149 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly ahead of the ideal point. The touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 953 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
