MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 237 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 237 fpm next time
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,571 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,571 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Douglas DC-6 taxied from the parking area to runway 04L at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles in 18 minutes, covering 9 nm on the ground.
During the departure roll the aircraft accelerated along runway 04L, using a takeoff distance of 857 m (19 % of the runway) and achieving a liftoff speed of 101 kt; ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 21 kt from 040°, providing a 21 kt headwind and a 3 kt cross-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile north-east of MMSM, where the DC-6 rose from 8 609 ft asl to 14 866 ft asl, a gain of 6 257 ft in 5 minutes while covering 17 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 2 miles west of Tequixquiac, lasting 18 minutes and extending over 78 nm at the cruise altitude.
A second climb was initiated overhead MMQT Querétaro Intercontinental Airport, increasing altitude from 14 996 ft asl to 15 891 ft asl, a rise of 894 ft in 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
The next cruise phase started 3 miles south-east of Chichimequillas, persisting for 15 minutes and covering 65 nm.
Descent began 5 miles south-east of Santa María del Río, with the aircraft descending from 15 977 ft asl to 10 279 ft asl, a loss of 5 698 ft in 7 minutes while traveling 29 nm.
A brief cruise followed 2 miles south-east of Soledad de Graciano Sánchez, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The second descent started overhead MMSP Ponciano Arriaga International Airport, dropping from 9 987 ft asl to 8 040 ft asl, a decrease of 1 947 ft in 3 minutes across 11 nm.
A further cruise segment began 9 miles east of Ahualulco del Sonido Trece, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 5 nm.
On final approach to runway 14 at MMSP, the aircraft descended from 1 385 ft agl to 59 ft agl in 117 seconds, meeting the stabilization gates criteria.
Landing on runway 14 was executed with a threshold speed of 113 kt; touchdown occurred 88 m beyond the touchdown zone at 105 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 181 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.6 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 100°, giving a headwind component of 8 kt and a cross-wind of 10 kt. The total landing distance measured 1 477 m, representing 49 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout showed a slight alignment offset of 7.8 m from the centreline as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The DC-6 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.
In total, the flight covered 234 nm, required 66 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 914 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 182.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 187 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The aircraft's rate of descent was very heavy, at -784 feet per minute, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,395 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A319 aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score of 93.8%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, the aircraft's overall performance was impressive, and the landing was considered successful.
