MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 179 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 159 kt against a target of 179 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 179 kt.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 872 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,799 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,799 m of the 3,169 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 872 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-800 departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), rolling down runway 16L after a 9-minute taxi from the parking area, covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots, utilizing 31% of the 1,125-meter runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11°C, with a 10-knot headwind and a 230-degree wind direction.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it traversed 88 nautical miles in 15 minutes, ascending from 1,403 feet above sea level to 32,134 feet. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead SeaTac, Washington. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 32,134 feet for 49 minutes while covering 390 nautical miles. The descent phase began 13 miles southwest of Spears Heliport, San Fernando, California, where the aircraft descended from 32,821 feet to 12,874 feet in 14 minutes, covering 94 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple level cruise and descent phases, eventually entering the final approach to runway 30 at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK).
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 30 at a speed of 115 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute. The aircraft utilized 54% of the 3,204-meter runway, with a total landing distance of 1,743 meters. Following a 3-minute taxi to the parking area, the flight concluded, having covered a total distance of 645 nautical miles and utilizing 4,065 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 110 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 310.0° at 4 nm and 1,287 ft above ground level, aligning itself with the runway. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 115 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 fpm. The touchdown point was 482 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 280°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,743 m was 54% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.9%, reflecting a well-executed approach and touchdown, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown point accuracy.
