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 9.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 52 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 7.4 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,008 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 13 at the Diego Garcia Naval Support Facility, with a takeoff distance of 1,014 meters, which was 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. After departing from Diego Garcia, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the facility. The climb took 35 minutes to reach an altitude of 38,683 feet, an increase of 37,610 feet from the initial altitude of 1,072 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 236 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 155 minutes and covered a distance of 1,290 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location with coordinates of latitude -5.7007623 and longitude 76.0533037.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 53 miles west of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The descent took 11 minutes to reach an altitude of 1,351 feet, a decrease of 37,394 feet from the initial altitude of 38,745 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 168.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 176 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,039 meters, which was 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,591 nautical miles, taking 206 minutes to complete, and used 9,400 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at WITT Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 17 was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high degree of accuracy, with a score of 99.9%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 389 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to achieve a more optimal speed.
The landing rate of -166 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 176°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,039 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at WITT Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport was a success, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The pilot's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach, touch down smoothly, and decelerate safely after touchdown was evident throughout the landing process.
