MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 29 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,580 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,580 ft of the 11,537 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,948 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 2,578 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 78°F temperature and winds of 8 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the tailwind was 4 knots. After departing from KSBA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Isla Vista, California. The climb took 13 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 35,872 feet in altitude, from 1,048 feet above sea level to 36,920 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Oceano, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 3 miles southeast of Los Osos, California. The climb took 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 1,459 feet in altitude, from 37,417 feet above sea level to 38,877 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Cayucos, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northeast of 66CA Rancho San Simeon Airport Cambria, California. The descent took 24 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 37,651 feet in altitude, from 38,866 feet above sea level to 1,215 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,195 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28R, which had a length of 11,537 feet. The threshold height at 85 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 2,553 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -544 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 65°F temperature and winds of 24 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 15 knots, and the headwind was 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,285 feet, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 229 nautical miles, and the flight took 62 minutes, using 1,832 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) with a score of 83.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,195 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being significantly above the target at 85 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 123 knots. The touchdown point was located 2,553 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended.
The touchdown speed of 115 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -544 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 65°F, with a wind speed of 24 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The total landing distance was 5,285 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length.
Following the touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft C750 demonstrated good performance and control during the landing.
