MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 56 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 56 ft, 11 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 225 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 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 3,200 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at YMHB Hobart International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30 the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,003 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and lifted off at 145 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 16 °C, wind 6 kt from 330°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead YMHB Hobart International Airport, ascending from 989 ft asl to 39,721 ft asl - an increase of 38,732 ft - in 41 minutes while covering 326 nm.
Level cruise began 5 miles north of YORB Orbost Airport and continued for 165 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 1,231 nm.
Descent started 21 miles south-west of YCDW Cardwell/Dallachy Airport, descending from 39,999 ft asl to 1,299 ft asl - a loss of 38,700 ft - in 19 minutes and covering 120 nm.
The final approach to runway 15 at YBCS Cairns International Airport was executed from the north-west, on a heading of 156.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl.
Landing on runway 15, which is 3,200 m long, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 129 kt. Touchdown occurred at 339 m down the runway with a speed of 120 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 234 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather reported temperature 21 °C, wind 5 kt from 160°, with no cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.
The total landing distance recorded was 830 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,683 nm, lasted 233 minutes, and consumed 10,218 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 approached runway 15 at YBCS Cairns International Airport on a heading of 156.0° from the north-west, passing 4 nm out at 1,277 ft agl under a temperature of 21 °C and a wind of 5 kt from 160° with no cross-wind component.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 129 kt.
Touchdown occurred 339 m down the runway at a speed of 120 kt, with a descent rate of minus 234 fpm described as fair, while runway-centerline alignment was very good.
Rollout alignment was perfect; the aircraft travelled a total of 830 m, representing 26 % of the 3,200 m runway, before coming to a stop.
Refine speed control to achieve the target threshold speed and smooth the descent rate to improve the touchdown quality, which will further enhance an already high-scoring landing.
