MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the pitch control smoothly after rotation so g force settles near one g, rather than snatching back pressure in the initial climb.
What happened: Climb 1 was flown with abrupt control inputs that pushed g force to 1.4 g, and flights that start this way usually carry the same handling into Climb 3, where it showed up again at 1 g.
Watch for: G-meter: smooth one g through the climb, with no abrupt spikes.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 132 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 369 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,335 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Friedrichshafen Airport (EDNY), the Phenom 300E began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. With a favorable local weather condition of 17°C temperature and a gentle 2 kt headwind, the aircraft took off from runway 24, utilizing only 22% of the 418-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 123 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from EDNY, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 2,359 ft to 20,011 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 17,652 ft. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 20,011 ft for 5 minutes while covering 36 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of enroute descents, with the aircraft descending from 19,991 ft to 6,826 ft in 10 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles. The final descent phase, from 6,829 ft to 2,449 ft, was completed in 5 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
As the Phenom 300E approached Stuttgart Airport (EDDS), it began its final approach to runway 25 from the east, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,216 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 100 kt and a touchdown distance of 401 meters. The total landing distance was 860 meters, utilizing only 28% of the 3,037-meter runway. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 137 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 34 minutes and a fuel consumption of 219 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 108 kt. The pilot maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 100 kt. The touchdown distance of 401 m was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -299 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, suggesting a slight loss of control during the final stages of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stabilize the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth and stable approach.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 860 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, minimizing the risk of overrun. The score for this landing was 98.4%, reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
