MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 8.6 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.4° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 12 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 12 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 12 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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,887 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,887 m of the 3,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07L at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, where the aircraft, a C750, accelerated down the 3,329-meter runway and lifted off at a speed of 128 knots. The takeoff distance was 336 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north-east of the airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 7,919 feet above sea level to 10,316 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 3 miles east of Addis Ababa. The descent was gradual, with the aircraft descending from 10,326 feet above sea level to 8,038 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 80 degrees and at an altitude of 428 feet above ground level. However, the pilot decided to go-around at an altitude of 10 feet above ground level, likely due to a loss of situational awareness or a change in wind conditions.
The aircraft then made a second approach to runway 07L, this time successfully landing on the runway. The touchdown point was 128 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 106 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -67 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,799 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight took 13 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 208 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 07L at HAAB Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 80.0° at 1 nm and 428 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 106 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The threshold height at 56 ft agl was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed of 113 kt was slightly below the target. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both excellent, with a touchdown rate of -67 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 °C, with a wind speed of 20 kt at 110°. The crosswind component was 12 kt, while the headwind component was 16 kt. The total landing distance was 1,799 m, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
