MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 89 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 89 ft, 44 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 2,020 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,020 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 705 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,142 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, where the aircraft ascended from 1,015 feet above sea level to 35,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,989 feet in 17 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 14 miles southeast of Matinicus Island Airport, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 80 minutes, covering 797 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 35,285 feet to 35,795 feet above sea level, an increase of 510 feet in 2 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a new location, lasting 149 minutes and covering 1,377 nautical miles.
The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 35,514 feet to 36,512 feet above sea level, an increase of 999 feet in 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed once more, lasting 76 minutes and covering 630 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 29 miles west of Zandvoort, the Netherlands, where the aircraft descended from 36,751 feet above sea level to 1,264 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,486 feet in 21 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,527 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above target and the threshold speed being good at 145 knots. However, the touchdown point was 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots.
The touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 200°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,931 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 3,008 nautical miles, taking 364 minutes and using 43,129 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 280 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to control the descent effectively.
The threshold height at 65 feet agl was above the target, which may have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach. However, the threshold speed of 145 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable approach speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have helped to stabilize the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,931 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilot managed to execute a safe and controlled landing, earning a score of 88.6%.
