MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.5°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 144 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 158 kt, 14 kt above 144 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 kt at the threshold.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,446 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,446 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 848 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 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,194 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Morawica in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,819 feet above sea level to 35,058 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,239 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Czajkow in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. This phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 196 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles north of Dzwirzyno in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. The descent took 37 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,253 feet above sea level to 1,288 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,965 feet.
The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 41.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height at 74 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 158 knots.
The touchdown point was 436 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 150 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -0 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 290 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,369 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 430 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 104 minutes. The aircraft used 3,827 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 436 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overextension of the landing.
The touchdown speed of 150 knots was faster than the target speed, which could have contributed to the overextension. The touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. However, the threshold height at 74 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a higher-than-ideal approach path angle.
The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -0°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 290°, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, but they may have contributed to the slight deviations in the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,369 meters was 79% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters, which could be addressed through further training and refinement of the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
