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 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 1 ft, 10 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 224 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 1,214 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 278°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it encountered a steady headwind of 3 knots at the destination airport.
The enroute climb started overhead the Idroscalo Milan (Lombardia, Italy), where the aircraft was at an altitude of 415 meters above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 10,914 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,498.4 meters, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 40 miles northwest of Rogliano (Corse, France). This phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 169 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 2 miles east of Chiaramonti (Sardegna, Italy). The descent was from an altitude of 11,020 meters above sea level to 385 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,635.2 meters, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at Cagliari Elmas Airport (LIEE) was from the southeast, with a heading of 318.0° at 4 nautical miles and 374.2 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32, which had a length of 2,803 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 227 meters, but the touchdown speed of 148 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -4.0 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the destination airport were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,220 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 384 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 3,459 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 32 was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 318.0° at an altitude of 374.2 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 148 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 150 knots. The touchdown distance of 227 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -4.0 meters per second was deemed very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or hard landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a light wind of 4 knots at 10°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which was relatively minimal and unlikely to have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,220 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control.
