MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to cross the threshold at 128 kt instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 135 kt, 7 kt above 128 kt, and the flare's sink was arrested before 1,151 fpm of it came back. Excess speed carrying into a flare that lets sink return like this usually rolls the touchdown point long, and here it landed 989 m beyond 457 m.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 5.9° off, against a 1° limit, wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 40 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,568 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,568 m of the 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,446 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.77 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxied from the parking area to runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, covering 6 nm in 48 minutes.
The departure roll on runway 12R used a takeoff distance of 1,935 m, representing 64 % of the runway, and rotation was achieved at 141 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 30 °C, wind 14 kt from 189°, a crosswind component of 13 kt and a headwind component of 5 kt.
Climb commenced one mile southeast of KMSP, with the aircraft ascending from 1,668 ft asl to 35,971 ft asl, an increase of 34,303 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 153 nm.
The first cruise segment began four miles southeast of Ellsworth, Minnesota, and lasted 92 minutes, during which 599 nm were flown.
Descent began three miles southeast of Antonito, Colorado, with altitude decreasing from 35,995 ft asl to 20,067 ft asl, a loss of 15,927 ft in 8 minutes over a distance of 54 nm.
A brief cruise started nine miles northwest of Chili, New Mexico, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nm.
The subsequent descent started seven miles west of Los Alamos, New mexico, with the aircraft descending from 19,997 ft asl to 6,042 ft asl, a reduction of 13,954 ft in 12 minutes while traveling 54 nm.
Final approach to runway 21 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport involved a descent from 1,149 ft agl to 131 ft agl in 82 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 21 at KABQ was performed on a runway 3,045 m long; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 135 kt, touchdown occurred 1,015 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 92 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 798 fpm, and the touchdown point was misaligned by 19.9 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 29 °C, wind 26 kt from 170°, a crosswind of 21 kt and a headwind of 15 kt.
In total the flight covered 890 nm, required 156 minutes, and used 0 kg of fuel.
