MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Turn speed is limited by lateral load on the tyres and the people in the back, and lateral acceleration goes with the square of speed. On an illustrative 25 m turn radius, 10 kt produces about 0.11 g of side load, while 20 kt produces about 0.43 g. Doubling the speed quadruples the load. That square law is the entire content of the "10 knots in turns" rule, and it tells you why a slightly-too-fast turn feels fine and a moderately-too-fast one throws the cabin crew across the galley.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,443 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,443 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,964 ft 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 6,035 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 49°F and winds of 6 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from KSEA, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of Normandy Park, Washington. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,285 feet above sea level to 32,973 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,687 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Warden Airport (KWAD) in Washington. This cruise phase lasted for 189 minutes, covering a distance of 1,626 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles southwest of Arnold Air Force Base Manchester (KAYX) in Tennessee. The descent from 32,991 feet above sea level to 2,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,694 feet, took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), it began its final approach to runway 08L from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08L, which had a length of 8,984 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. However, the touchdown point was 613 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -187 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at KATL were a temperature of 46°F and winds of 2 knots at 170°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,192 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,901 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 257 minutes. The aircraft used 22,356 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 08L. The final approach was executed from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 144 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and smooth touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 613 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft's landing was precise and well-aligned with the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 170°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 5,192 feet was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 98.2%. The pilots' skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated to achieve a precise and controlled landing.
