MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 64 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 64 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 521 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 3.1° off, against a 1° limit and wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,728 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 521 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Olympia Regional Airport (KOLM), the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 17, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 45% of the 762-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 209°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KOLM, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,232 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 43,010 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 124 nautical miles and took approximately 20 minutes to complete. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 66 minutes and covered a distance of 571 nautical miles. The enroute cruise phase was initiated approximately 8 miles southwest of Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, Canada. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 16 miles southwest of Petersburg, Alaska, and took approximately 26 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from a cruising altitude of 43,005 feet to a final approach altitude of 492 feet.
Upon reaching Juneau International Airport (PAJN), the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 26, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 285.0°. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 300°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind. The aircraft landed on runway 26, which had a length of 2,569 meters, and touched down at a speed of 111 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 118 knots. The touchdown distance was 363 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 845 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,698 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 116 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 26 at PAJN Juneau International Airport from the east, aligning with the runway heading of 285.0° at 1 nautical mile and 460 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 118 kt, which was within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down, it achieved a touchdown distance of 363 meters, which was within the desired parameters.
However, the touchdown speed of 111 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 2 kt. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a headwind of 7 kt, were generally favorable for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying on course throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 974 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.6%.
