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 6.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed bleeds back to 136 kt by the threshold, rather than carrying it in.
What happened: This flight crossed the threshold 7 kt above the target speed, then began the flare 91 ft above the normal band. Carrying speed like this across the threshold usually keeps the flare high and ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 136 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: speed 73 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,835 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 721 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 308 degrees, resulting in a slight tailwind component of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 7 minutes, during which time it ascended from an altitude of 2,011 feet above sea level to 22,977 feet, an increase of 20,966 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 46 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent. The descent phase, which started 2 miles west of Schoenwald, saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 23,003 feet to 2,001 feet, a decrease of 21,002 feet, in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Dresden Airport, it began its final approach to runway 04, which was aligned from the southwest, at a heading of 41.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold, and at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target, at 144 knots, and a touchdown distance of 383 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was a little fast, at 138 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm, at -321 feet per minute. The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 230 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes, during which time the aircraft used a total of -79 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 04 at EDDC Dresden Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -321 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 138 kt. The aircraft's touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 383 m was good, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 144 kt was slightly above target.
As the aircraft rolled out on the runway, it maintained very good alignment with the centreline, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,289 m was 51% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt.
The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 96.8%. The approach quality was good, and the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the approach and rollout phases was evident. The landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it set a high standard for future landings at EDDC Dresden Airport.
