MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 94 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 94 ft, 49 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,044 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,044 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 659 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN). The Boeing 737-800 aircraft accelerated down the 2,046-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 168 knots. The takeoff distance covered 98% of the runway, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed out of San Diego, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,261 feet above sea level to 2,104 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of three nautical miles. This initial climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting three minutes and covering eight nautical miles, as the aircraft flew one mile north of the airport.
The next enroute climb phase began one mile north of La Mesa, with the aircraft ascending from 2,097 feet to 7,456 feet in three minutes, covering a distance of five nautical miles. This significant climb phase was followed by a descent from 7,439 feet to 2,762 feet in three minutes, covering just one nautical mile, as the aircraft flew two miles northeast of National City.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting four minutes and covering four nautical miles, as it flew one mile north of Bonita. The final approach to runway 27 at KSAN began from the east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 287.0 degrees and 1,759 feet above ground level, four nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 27 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 154 knots. The touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance covered 1,967 meters, which was 94% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 28 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 1,188 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,759 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 154 knots, registering at 154 kt. However, the touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 141 kt was also a bit faster than desired, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C.
The total landing distance of 1,967 meters was 94% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without any issues.
