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 5.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 6,116 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,116 ft of the 8,394 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,643 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at the Albuquerque International Sunport in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The takeoff distance was 4,587 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb started 2 miles east of the Albuquerque International Sunport and involved a significant increase in altitude from 6,423 feet above sea level to 30,350 feet above sea level, a rise of 23,927 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of Grants, New Mexico, and lasted for 38 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 257 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 15 miles north of Seligman, Arizona, and involved a decrease in altitude from 30,329 feet above sea level to 13,437 feet above sea level, a drop of 16,892 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Henderson Airport in Henderson, Nevada, and lasted for 10 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 9 miles southwest of Jean, Nevada, and involved a decrease in altitude from 11,061 feet above sea level to 3,641 feet above sea level, a drop of 7,420 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01L at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, was made from the south, with a heading of 25.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,513 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01L, which had a length of 8,394 feet, was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target and the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,318 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 5,891 feet, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 471 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 9,514 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.8%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,513 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,318 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 139 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 -322 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F.
The total landing distance of 5,891 feet was 70% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop within a reasonable distance is a testament to their skill and experience.
