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 3.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 183 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 409 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 5,631 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,631 ft of the 9,337 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,506 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,024 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Schiller Park, Illinois. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,676 feet above sea level to 35,785 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,109 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south-east of the 53IL Clapper Airport in Mansfield, Illinois. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 262 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles north of Imboden, Arkansas. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,876 feet above sea level to 4,321 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,556 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of the H75 Hernando Village Airpark in Hernando, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Hernando, Mississippi. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,941 feet above sea level to 1,608 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,333 feet.
The final approach to runway 36L at KMEM Memphis International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 359.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,310 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36L, which had a length of 9,337 feet. The threshold height at 63 feet above ground level was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,147 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 44°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,372 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline. 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 502 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 9,926 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMEM Memphis International Airport on runway 36L. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 1,147 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The landing performance was evaluated, and it was noted that the threshold height was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 142 knots. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also a bit faster than the desired speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -305 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 21 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 44°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 5,372 feet, which accounted for approximately 58% of the runway length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was again slightly off, deviating by 28 feet. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 at KMEM Memphis International Airport was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the desired parameters.
