MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.2° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 164 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 364 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight started with taxiing from the parking to the runway at César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (GCRR), where it took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 03, and the takeoff distance covered 38% of the runway, which was 915 m long. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 kt.
After taking off, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 30 °C, a wind speed of 4 kt at 50°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 4 kt. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-east of GCRR Airport, where the aircraft climbed from a height of 1,118 ft asl to 38,654 ft asl over a distance of 257 nm in 35 minutes. The climb was a significant increase of 37,536 ft, demonstrating the aircraft's capacity to ascend to high altitudes.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft leveled off and entered a cruise phase. This started 7 miles north-east of Essaouira (Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco), where it remained for 100 minutes, covering a distance of 1,162 nm. This indicates that the aircraft cruised at an efficient altitude, using a significant portion of its fuel to cover a vast distance.
The enroute descent phase started 1 mile east of Autheuil-Authouillet (Normandie, France), where the aircraft descended from a height of 38,924 ft asl to 29,108 ft asl over a distance of 35 nm in just 5 minutes. A brief cruise phase occurred overhead Crillon (Hauts-de-France, France), lasting only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft then started its descent again, this time from a height of 29,108 ft asl to 2,006 ft asl, a drop of 27,103 ft, over a distance of 81 nm in 14 minutes. Finally, another brief cruise phase took place overhead Lecelles (Hauts-de-France, France), lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.
The final approach took place at Lille Airport (LFQQ), where the aircraft approached runway 26 from the east, heading 259.0° at 4 nm and 1,248 ft agl. The landing took place on runway 26, which had a length of 2,539 m, and was performed successfully with good threshold height and threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 228 m, and the touchdown speed of 122 kt was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -288 fpm, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm, concluding a successful landing phase. The total flight distance was 1,551 nm, which took a total of 163 minutes and consumed 8,371 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 has successfully landed at Lille Airport (LFQQ), achieving a final approach score of 99.2%. As the aircraft navigated its final approach to runway 26 from the east at a heading of 259.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl), the crew demonstrated proficiency in precision landing techniques.
On landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was within acceptable limits at 128 knots (kt). The touchdown distance of 228 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft descended smoothly throughout the approach. Notably, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 kt, suggesting that the crew may have been able to adjust their flare to achieve a smoother touchdown in the future.
The touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was somewhat rapid, but still maintained control. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, demonstrating precise control and alignment during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and wind speeds of 8 kt at 149°. The crosswind was moderate at 7 kt, while the tailwind was minimal at 2 kt. These conditions suggest that the crew faced some moderate wind shear, but still managed to maintain good control throughout the approach.
The total landing distance of 717 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's weight and speed. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the crew executed a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown, bringing the aircraft to a safe stop without any issues.
Overall, the successful landing of the Boeing 737-600 at Lille Airport demonstrates the crew's ability to maintain precision and control throughout the approach, despite some moderate wind shear conditions. However, there are still some areas for improvement, such as adjusting the flare to achieve a smoother touchdown speed.
