MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 146 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 28 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 106 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 120 kt against the 106 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 617 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 106 kt at 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: seven 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 4.2° off, against a 1° limit and speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 106 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,514 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 617 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Takeoff was executed from runway 03 at LESA Salamanca Airport. The departure roll covered a takeoff distance of 740 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 114 kt. Local weather at the time was 20 °C with wind 11 kt from 310°, a 10 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb began overhead LESA Salamanca Airport, ascending from 3,455 ft asl to 4,133 ft asl, an increase of 678 ft achieved in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.
Level cruise commenced one mile south of Aldearrubia and persisted for two minutes, during which the aircraft travelled four nautical miles at a constant altitude.
Descent started over Aldealengua, descending from 4,063 ft asl to 2,814 ft asl, a loss of 1,249 ft in two minutes while covering five nautical miles.
A go-around was initiated on runway 03 at LESA Salamanca Airport at 0 ft agl.
The first final approach to runway 03 descended from 574 ft agl to -72 ft agl in 53 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
A second go-around was performed on runway 03 at LESA Salamanca Airport at 0 ft agl.
The second final approach descended from 542 ft agl to -68 ft agl in 56 seconds, again achieving a score on the stabilisation gates.
A third go-around was executed on runway 03 at LESA Salamanca Airport at 0 ft agl.
The third final approach to runway 03 reduced altitude from 726 ft agl to -64 ft agl in 59 seconds, with a further stabilisation-gate score recorded.
Landing occurred on runway 03, whose total length is 2,514 m. The threshold speed was 120 kt, well above the target, and touchdown was made 189 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 102 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 54 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather at landing was 18 °C with wind 10 kt from 310°, a 9 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component. Total landing distance measured 1,158 m, representing 46 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
Taxi-in to the parking area required three minutes and covered less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 57 nm, lasted 25 minutes and consumed 86 kg of fuel.
