MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 4.2°.
What happened: The wings held 4.2° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 3.1° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: On final approach, the heading wandered by 77° off the intended track.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and hold it steady against the runway centreline.

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.

The 446 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at ZBAD Beijing Daxing International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,261 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 4,569 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,459 feet from the initial altitude of 1,110 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started again 6 miles north-east of Langfang, China, where the aircraft climbed from 5,167 feet to 11,320 feet, an increase of 6,153 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 22 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles, 12 miles west of Majiadian, China. This was followed by another enroute climb, which started overhead Huajiying, China, where the aircraft climbed from 11,270 feet to 33,906 feet, an increase of 22,636 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 34 minutes and covering 288 nautical miles, 13 miles north-west of ZMUU Chifeng Air Base Mujiayingzi, China. The enroute descent started 12 miles south-west of ZYSQ Songyuan Chaganhu Airport, China, where the aircraft descended from 32,803 feet to 2,121 feet, a decrease of 30,682 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 105 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, 7 miles north-west of ZHAA Wang Kang Airfield Harbin, China. The final approach to landing began, and the aircraft descended from 1,249 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level, a decrease of 42 feet, in just 6 seconds. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute, and the touchdown distance was good at 446 meters.
The landing rollout took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, taking 126 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,591 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Harbin Taiping International Airport, achieving a score of 79.3%. The final approach to landing was conducted from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 42 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a span of 6 seconds, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 129 knots, which was slightly above the optimal speed for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's rate of descent was well-managed. The touchdown distance of 446 meters was also considered good, suggesting that the aircraft's approach and landing technique was effective.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 360 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the aircraft's landing rollout was smooth, with an altitude of 465 feet above sea level (asl) and a distance of 1,091 meters.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a good approach and landing technique despite the challenging weather conditions. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, which can be achieved through further refinement of the aircraft's approach and landing technique.
