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 8.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 128 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 128 ft, 83 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 33R at OERK King Khaled International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,150 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching a maximum altitude of 40,239 feet above sea level. The climb was completed in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 211 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 37,182 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles northeast of OEJL King Abdulaziz Naval Base. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 160 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 48 miles southwest of OIBV Lavan Airport. The descent was completed in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles and a decrease in altitude of 38,761 feet.
The final approach to runway 12L at OMDB Dubai International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 121.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, which had a length of 3,596 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -519 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.6 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 530 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 89 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,915 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 12L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) with a score of 86.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
However, there were a few areas of concern during the landing. The touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -519 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown distance. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 5 knots at 90°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it could have been achieved with more precise control and alignment during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.6 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the slightly longer rollout distance.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were a few areas of concern that could be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety. With some adjustments to the final approach and touchdown technique, the aircraft could potentially achieve an even higher score and a more precise landing.
