MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 24 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 257 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 231 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,459 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21 at SEGU José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,576 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of Guayaquil, Ecuador, and ascended from an altitude of 1,178 feet above sea level to 13,297 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,119 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 18 miles south of Guayaquil, Ecuador, and the aircraft descended from 13,418 feet above sea level to 2,852 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,567 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Eloy Alfaro, Ecuador, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Yaguachi Nuevo, Ecuador, and descended from 2,754 feet above sea level to 1,820 feet above sea level, a decrease of 934 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Samborondon, Ecuador, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at SEGU José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 213.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,644 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 2,459 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 350 meters, and the touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 782 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 68 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 8,165 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SEGU José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport, with a score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, heading 213.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,644 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 113 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 350 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.8 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 6 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during landing.
Despite the slight misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. The total landing distance of 782 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control during the rollout phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment during landing.
