MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,738 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,738 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 606 m 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25R at Brussels Airport (EBBR), with a takeoff distance of 799 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, where the aircraft climbed from 758 feet above sea level to 15,032 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,274 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 15,023 feet above sea level to 7,985 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,038 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile northeast of Boom, Flanders, Belgium. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles, starting 1 mile east of Balen-Keiheuvel Airfield, Balen, Flanders, Belgium.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing from 8,408 feet above sea level to 10,510 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,103 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles, starting overhead Haelen, Provincie Limburg, The Netherlands. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, starting 1 mile northeast of Bruggen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The aircraft then began its descent from 10,508 feet above sea level to 3,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,502 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles, starting overhead Toenisvorst, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, starting 1 mile east of Oberhausen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The aircraft continued its descent from 3,013 feet above sea level to 2,270 feet above sea level, a decrease of 743 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, starting 2 miles east of Essen-Mülheim Airport, Essen-Mulheim, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft then began its climb from 2,225 feet above sea level to 2,912 feet above sea level, an increase of 687 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, starting 2 miles northwest of Heiligenhaus, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles, starting overhead Mettmann, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft then began its descent from 3,009 feet above sea level to 1,072 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,938 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles, starting 3 miles south of Essen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The final approach to runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL) was made from the northeast, heading 233.0° at 4 nautical miles and 933 feet above
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a score of 87.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 933 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target, at 112 knots, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The touchdown point was 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, accounting for 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target, the landing was successful and demonstrated a high level of proficiency. The aircraft's ability to maintain a precise approach and touchdown, combined with a stable and controlled rollout, indicate a high level of skill and expertise on the part of the pilot.
