MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 32 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 32 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 32 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 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 2,002 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,002 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 667 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,448 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Birchanger in Essex, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,312 feet above sea level to 4,839 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,527 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Sheering in Essex, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 4,906 feet above sea level to 35,437 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,531 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over various locations, including Blackmore in Essex, England, and Erny-Saint-Julien in Hauts-de-France, France.
The enroute level cruise then started overhead Erny-Saint-Julien, lasting for 85 minutes and covering a distance of 611 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 25 miles north east of Stintino in Sardegna, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,853 feet above sea level to 1,411 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,442 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport was made from the north west, heading 138.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,390 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 2,803 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots. The touchdown point was 256 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,926 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 852 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 143 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,828 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 138.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,390 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 256 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 7 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing process.
The total landing distance of 1,926 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the landing process.
