MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,818 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 788 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at HECA Cairo International Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 05C, with a takeoff distance of 3,005 feet, which was 23% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 76°F, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 352°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead HECA Cairo International Airport and climbing from 1,409 feet above sea level to 43,800 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,391 feet in 19 minutes, covering 126 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 59 miles northeast of Rosetta, Egypt, and lasting 19 minutes, covering 150 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 34.5461442 and a longitude of 29.8898667, descending from 43,480 feet above sea level to 4,142 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,337 feet in 23 minutes, covering 132 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, starting 4 miles east of Faliraki, Greece, climbing from 4,152 feet above sea level to 5,015 feet above sea level, an increase of 862 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles south of Rodos, Greece, descending from 5,011 feet above sea level to 1,995 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,016 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles northeast of Rodos, Greece, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport was from the east, heading 248.0° at 4 nautical miles and 608 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport was notable for several factors. The threshold height was above target at 66 feet above ground level, and the threshold speed was well above target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 782 feet, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,019 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 112 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 72°F, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 2,814 feet, which was 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 116 feet from the centreline.
The flight concluded with taxiing to the parking from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 438 nautical miles, taking 83 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,449 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 248.0° at 4 nautical miles and 608 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a crosswind of 15 kt and a headwind of 13 kt, which may have contributed to some of the challenges faced during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 139 kt, which was too fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,019 fpm. This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which may have put additional stress on the landing gear and other components. The touchdown distance of 782 ft was good, but the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 112 ft from the centreline.
The threshold height at 66 ft agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 kt. This suggests that the aircraft may have been descending too slowly or may have been too high on final approach. The runway length of 10,818 ft was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, but the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 116 ft from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 72 °F and a wind of 20 kt at 300°. The wind may have played a role in the aircraft's misaligned touchdown and rollout. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the alignment of the aircraft on the runway.
