MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 129 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 138 kt, 9 kt above the 129 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 129 kt at the threshold.
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 above 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 4,095 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 short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 15 at PACD Cold Bay Airport in Cold Bay, Alaska. The takeoff distance was 968 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead PACD Cold Bay Airport. The climb took 42 minutes and covered a distance of 313 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,121 feet above sea level to 39,118 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,997 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 26 miles southeast of ALZ Alitak Seaplane Base in Lazy Bay, Alaska. This phase lasted for 333 minutes and covered a distance of 2,517 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles northwest of OL44 Porter Airport in Retrop, Oklahoma. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 162 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 39,081 feet above sea level to 3,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,981 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Denton, Texas. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, which was located to the north. The aircraft was heading at 180.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 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 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 209 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,006 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,016 nautical miles, which was covered in 398 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,565 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on runway 18R. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, adhering to the standard procedures for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported to be good, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude before touching down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 139 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilots' decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 133 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 127 kt was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 12 kt from 209°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilots, but they were able to navigate the aircraft safely to the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,006 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and skill, with a score of 98.9%. The pilots demonstrated their ability to navigate the aircraft safely in challenging weather conditions and maintain a smooth touchdown and rollout.
