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 3.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
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 centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,077 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,077 ft of the 9,954 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,687 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 30 at the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK). The takeoff distance was 3,623 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 291 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the KOAK airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 41,232 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,203 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Downieville, California, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 203 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles southeast of the Whitehorse Ranch Airport Fields (OR09) in Oregon and took the aircraft from an altitude of 41,085 feet above sea level to 4,133 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,952 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of the Caldwell Executive Airport (KEUL) in Idaho and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10L at the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (KBOI) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 117.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 10L was successful, with the touchdown point being 303 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 4,793 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 454 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 6,465 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure. The aircraft's final approach to runway 10L from the west was executed at a heading of 117.0°, with a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 124 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 303 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly slowed down before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more gradually before touchdown.
Despite the slightly high touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F. The total landing distance of 4,793 feet was 48% 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 pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, and the pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
