MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 252 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,691 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,691 ft of the 11,485 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,534 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 2,767 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Virginia Gardens, Florida, and the aircraft ascended from 1,055 feet above sea level to 25,749 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,694 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 33 miles south of Chokoloskee, Florida, and lasted for 50 minutes, covering a distance of 372 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 45 miles north of MMKA Holbox Airport in Mexico, descending from 25,994 feet above sea level to 4,020 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,974 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 11 miles east of Solferino, Mexico, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 13 miles east of Solferino, and the aircraft descended from 4,012 feet above sea level to 1,731 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,281 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase started 12 miles north of Leona Vicario, Mexico, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, heading 124.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 12R was successful, with a touchdown point 1,167 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -180 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 4 knots at 140 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,424 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 534 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 11,590 pounds.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach to runway 12R was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt. The touchdown point was located 1,167 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 5,424 feet was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling.
