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 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.2 ft, and this flight then touched down at 201 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,217 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 33R at Kuwait International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 835 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 46 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Kuwait Intl Airport and continued for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,063 feet above sea level to 29,522 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,459 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 27 miles north of Al Wariah SE Highway Strip. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 42 miles northeast of Hafar Al Atk Airport. The descent from 29,496 feet above sea level to 10,588 feet above sea level took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 18 miles east of Thumamah Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The descent phase began again, this time from 10,551 feet above sea level to 4,150 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,401 feet in 10 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of Riyadh Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 6 miles northeast of Riyadh Air Base, with the aircraft descending from 4,147 feet above sea level to 3,288 feet above sea level, a decrease of 859 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33R at King Khaled International Airport, heading 330 degrees at an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33R was successful, with a touchdown point 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -348 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 0 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,544 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 302 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 971 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at OERK King Khaled International Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 33R was initiated from the southeast, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 100 meters past the threshold. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was faster than the recommended speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -348 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 3.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a high temperature of 39°C and a light wind of 10 knots from the north. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,544 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
