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 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 74 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 74 ft, 29 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,320 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,320 ft of the 9,055 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,892 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 19L at YBBN Brisbane International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,642 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Pinkenba, a location in the State of Queensland, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to 34,191 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,169 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles north of Boonooroo, a location in the State of Queensland, Australia. This phase of the flight lasted for 118 minutes and covered a distance of 906 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 72 miles southwest of CPR Cape Rodney, a location in the Central Province, Papua New Guinea. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,904 feet above sea level to 3,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,518 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles northwest of AYPY Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport, a location in the National Capital District, Papua New Guinea. This phase of the flight lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 8 miles northwest of AYPY Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,755 feet above sea level to 1,389 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,366 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14L at AYPY Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 148.0° at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 14L, which has a length of 9,055 feet. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 153 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,526 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 149°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,054 feet, which is 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,165 nautical miles, which
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at AYPY Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport on runway 14L. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 148.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 1,526 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been a bit aggressive during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 149°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining the aircraft's alignment during the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,054 feet was 67% of the runway length, which is a relatively normal distance for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. However, the slightly above-target touchdown speed and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions may indicate that the pilot could have improved the landing performance with more precise control.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining the aircraft's alignment and controlling the touchdown speed.
