MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 03L at SVMC La Chinita International Airport in Maracaibo, Venezuela. The takeoff distance was 1,496 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 89 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and ascending from 1,280 feet above sea level to 37,518 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,238 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 178 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 6 miles northeast of Chinacota, Colombia, and lasted for 185 minutes, covering a distance of 1,258 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Madean, Peru, and descending from 37,642 feet above sea level to 15,451 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,191 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 11 miles north of San Jeronimo, Peru, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles northeast of San Jeronimo, and descending from 15,129 feet above sea level to 12,976 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,152 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at SPHY Andahuaylas Airport was made from the northeast, heading 212.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 2,494 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 199 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,293 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,605 nautical miles, taking 237 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,718 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Andahuaylas Airport, with a final approach score of 97.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 21, which has a length of 2,494 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
The touchdown point was 199 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -353 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of deceleration. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 299°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,293 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the maneuver.
