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 26 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 292 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 301 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 6,104 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,104 ft of the 7,940 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,075 ft 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 a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 3,066 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Virginia Gardens, Florida, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,064 feet above sea level to 36,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,917 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 161 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles north of Marti, Provincia de Matanzas, Cuba, and lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 199 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 24 miles northeast of Charles Kirkconnell International Airport, West End, Sister Island, Cayman Islands, and the aircraft descended from 36,992 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,676 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Sangster International Airport (MKJS) was made from the southwest, heading 66.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with the touchdown point being 1,709 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,838 feet, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 505 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 9,252 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MKJS Sangster International Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.9%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 66.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,709 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The runway length of 7,940 feet was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 5,838 feet, which accounted for 74% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
