MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 9.4° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,227 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGGG Lochini took 12 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll commenced on runway 31L, with the aircraft clearing the runway threshold at 447 meters, representing 15% of the runway length. Liftoff speed was achieved at 92 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind of 19 knots at 310°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead UGTB Tbilisi International Airport, initiating the enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from 2,557 feet above sea level to 30,998 feet, a vertical increase of 28,441 feet, in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent from 31,000 feet to 2,002 feet, a decrease of 28,998 feet, in 14 minutes, covering 119 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period, cruising at a lower altitude before commencing the final approach to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing was executed at a speed of 95 knots, with the touchdown point located 196 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to a stop at a total landing distance of 855 meters, representing 26% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 285 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 59 minutes and a fuel consumption of 214 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport from the south, heading 360.0° at 4 nm and 1,257 ft agl, was characterized by a slightly high approach quality due to a threshold height of 91 ft agl, which was significantly above the target. The aircraft's speed was also above target at 95 kt, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. However, the touchdown speed of 60 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -130 fpm was smooth, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft came to rest 196 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a headwind of 23 kt, contributed to a relatively stable and controlled approach. The crosswind of 8 kt was minimal, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 855 m, which accounts for 26% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft remained well-centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 84.2%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot demonstrated a high degree of skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
