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 4.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 127 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 234 fpm.
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.
Side view — the last 2,126 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,126 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,096 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing from the parking to the runway took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 18C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), with a takeoff distance of 1,506 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KCLT, and reached a maximum altitude of 36,432 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 34,672 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile northeast of Kittrell, North Carolina, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Bill Davenport Memorial Airport (3VA4) in Warsaw, Virginia, and descended from 36,781 feet asl to 1,355 feet asl, a decrease of 35,426 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 225 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -182 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,045 meters, which is 96% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centreline.
The post-landing taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 985 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,356 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, with a final approach from the north east, heading 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 2,135 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 137 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, resulting in a very long touchdown point. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute was also within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,045 meters, which is 96% of the available runway length. While this is a relatively long landing distance, it is not uncommon for aircraft of this size and type. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centreline, which may be a concern for future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the runway rollout alignment.
