MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 488 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Smooth out your control inputs through touchdown and rollout, easing the controls rather than snapping them to avoid sharp g spikes.
What happened: Average g force through the landing came out at 1.1 g, well above the smooth, steady loading expected through touchdown and rollout.
Watch for: G-force meter: hold it within the normal smooth range through touchdown and rollout.
See Arrival Landing
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,813 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,236 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Descent from 16,998 ft asl to 1,332 ft asl took 18 minutes, covering 44 nm, beginning 3 miles north-west of Kinnelon, with a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport began at 1,361 ft agl and descended to 99 ft agl in 155 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. The aircraft was in final flap position 4 at 3,308 ft agl with a speed of 162 kt.
Landing on runway 04R, which is 8,813 ft long, was performed with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 1,235 ft down the runway at 128 kt, with a smooth rate of -116 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 3,029 ft, representing 34 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at KEWR was temperature 53 °F, wind 5 kt from 346°, crosswind 3 kt and headwind 4 kt.
