MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 4.6 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 4.5°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 131 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 181 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.

Side view — the last 1,477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 464 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, located in Nice, France. The takeoff distance was 1,075 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 988 feet above sea level to 37,990 feet above sea level, a total increase of 37,002 feet in 40 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 232 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Saint-Leger-sur-Roanne, a town in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This cruise phase lasted for 201 minutes and covered a distance of 1,274 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 59 miles southeast of Vík Airport in Iceland. The descent from 37,520 feet above sea level to 1,485 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,035 feet, took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 167 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at Reykjavik Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 175.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,443 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 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 a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 910 meters, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,681 nautical miles, taking a total of 277 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,827 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Reykjavik Airport (BIRK) on runway 19, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,443 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 456 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 116 knots, which was within the acceptable range for a smooth landing. The touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and avoided any hard landings. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency.
The total landing distance of 910 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rollout and brought it to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at Reykjavik Airport (BIRK) was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's performance was characterized by a good threshold height, speed, and touchdown distance, as well as a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway touchdown and rollout alignment.
