MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 4.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 25° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
On final, steepen your descent to stay on the glideslope so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the deviation before it carries through.
What happened: This flight drifted off the glideslope during the approach, then crossed the threshold 239 ft agl above the height target while carrying extra speed. High, fast crossings like this usually carry the touchdown long, and this one touched down 4,233 ft beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft over the threshold.
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: gear still up, glideslope 1.5° against the runway's 3°, centreline 11.0° off, against a 1° limit and speed 63 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,133 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,133 ft of the 9,912 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5,733 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KGEG Spokane International Airport took approximately 10 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 21, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 134 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,481 feet represented 23% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 88°F and a wind of 18 knots from a direction of 220°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 18-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KGEG, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,992 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 34,981 feet. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, during which the aircraft lost 30,001 feet in altitude over a distance of 126 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, including a brief period of 2 minutes at an altitude of 8,000 feet above sea level, covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to navigate through the Canadian airspace, with a series of climbs and descents to adjust its altitude. A notable climb phase occurred 1 mile southwest of Langley, where the aircraft gained 1,266 feet in altitude over a distance of 7 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. The final descent phase began 1 mile east of Delta, resulting in a loss of 6,047 feet in altitude over a distance of 21 nautical miles in 5 minutes. The aircraft concluded its enroute cruise phase 5 miles southwest of CAM9 Vancouver International Seaplane Base, where it remained at a steady altitude for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 295 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 60 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4 pounds.
The C750 executed the final approach to runway 26R at CYVR Vancouver International Airport from the south-east, maintaining a heading of 294.0° at 0 NM and 567 ft AGL; local weather was 75 °F with wind 5 kt from 120°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.
At the threshold the aircraft was 289 ft AGL, which was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was 150 kt, which was too high.
Touchdown occurred beyond the aim point, using more than 50 % of the 9,912 ft runway, with a touchdown speed of 146 kt that was too fast. The descent rate was very hard at minus 594 fpm and the touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 352 ft from the centreline.
With a score of 49.1 %, the primary focus should be on achieving the correct threshold height and speed to meet target values and on refining the flare to obtain a softer vertical rate. Improving alignment to keep touchdown within the intended corridor will also enhance overall performance.
