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 18°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 506 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 631 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,521 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,521 ft of the 13,118 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5,975 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 24 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 06 at OETB Tabuk Airport in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The takeoff distance was 3,064 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 49 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northeast of OETB Tabuk Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,568 feet above sea level to 44,142 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,574 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 13 miles east of Nuwaybi`a in Egypt. This phase lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 54 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 34 miles north of HESC Saint Catherine International Airport in Egypt. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 44,165 feet above sea level to 6,461 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,704 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 12 miles south of HE13 Wadi Al Jandali in Egypt. This phase lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead New Cairo in Egypt. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 6,025 feet above sea level to 2,697 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,328 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Cairo in Egypt. This phase lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 49.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,354 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport, which had a length of 13,118 feet. The threshold height at 209 feet above ground level was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was good at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 4,293 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 105 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -515 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 89 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 101 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,938 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 319 nautical miles, and the flight took 82 minutes, using 1,997 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 49.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,354 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed at a height that was excessively over the target threshold height of 209 feet agl, indicating that the pilot may have been too high on the approach.
Despite this, the threshold speed was good at 121 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. However, the touchdown point was 4,293 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was also good, but the touchdown rate was very hard at -515 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft.
One of the most notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 89 feet off the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind of 5 knots at 60°, were relatively calm, which should have made the landing easier.
The total landing distance of 6,938 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. This may be due in part to the hard touchdown rate and the misaligned touchdown position. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 101 feet from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several issues that need to be addressed to improve the safety and efficiency of future landings. The pilot may need to work on maintaining a more consistent approach and touchdown speed, as well as improving their control during the final stages of the approach and rollout.
