MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 34 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 34 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 34 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 m 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18 at Myrtle Beach International Airport (KMYR). The takeoff distance was 1,339 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 35,095 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,011 feet from the initial altitude of 1,084 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Myrtle Beach International Airport, and the aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise 1 mile north-west of Chase Field Hookerton in North Carolina. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 35,100 feet to 36,477 feet above sea level, in 3 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles, as it passed overhead Scotland Neck in North Carolina.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time 2 miles west of Boykins in Virginia, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered 122 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles south of Ragged Island Airport in Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 36,405 feet to 10,359 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,046 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 125 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time 2 miles south of Allentown in New Jersey, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered 37 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south-east of Fort Wadsworth in New York, where the aircraft descended from 10,347 feet to 2,030 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,317 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time 2 miles south-east of Larchmont in New York, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was made from the north-east, with a heading of 212.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 at KLGA was successful, with a touchdown point 231 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 159 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,277 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 513 nautical miles, and the flight used 4,173 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 138 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 231 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was deemed good, suggesting a controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and wind speeds of 14 knots at 159°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,277 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a controlled rollout. However, the slight deviation from the intended landing spot and the fair touchdown rate may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
