MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 1.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.
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 2,915 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,915 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 27 at GMAD Al Massira Airport in Agadir, Morocco. The takeoff distance was 1,871 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of GMAD Al Massira Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,213 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,549 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,337 feet in 20 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 105 nautical miles during this climb phase.
The enroute level cruise phase began 12 miles south of GMMS Safi Airport in Safi, Morocco, and lasted for 38 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 304 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by another climb phase, which started 2 miles west of Benalup-Casas Viejas in Andalusia, Spain. The aircraft climbed from 37,492 feet to 39,479 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,987 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 1 mile east of Ubrique in Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 52 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 409 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent phase, which started 4 miles south of Puente la Reina de Jaca in Aragon, Spain. The aircraft descended from 39,252 feet to 1,811 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,440 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the south-east, heading 323.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32L, which had a length of 3,501 meters. The threshold height at 78 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 148 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -676 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,845 meters, which accounted for 81% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 972 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 155 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,266 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, with a score of 80.5%. The final approach to runway 32L was initiated from the southeast, heading 323.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height of 78 feet agl, which was well above the target. The threshold speed was satisfactory at 148 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 148 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -676 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or hard landing. On the other hand, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which had a negligible effect on the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,845 meters was 81% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The aircraft's score of 80.5% reflects the combination of these factors, and the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's performance and maintain control throughout the landing phase.
