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 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 10° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 15 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 15 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 15 ft to touchdown.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,716 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,716 m of the 3,281 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,199 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 area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ). The takeoff distance was 2,101 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,481 feet above sea level to 34,170 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,688 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles southwest of Goderich, Ontario, and lasted for 25 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 194 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles east of Saugatuck, Michigan, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,247 feet above sea level to 2,047 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,199 feet, and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28C at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270 degrees at an altitude of 1,369 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 28C, which had a length of 3,281 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 785 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 142 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 310 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,637 meters, which accounted for 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 383 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 9,451 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed on runway 28C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.7%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,369 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 785 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 310°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 knots each, which contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 2,637 meters was 80% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, with a slightly off-center touchdown and a longer-than-ideal landing distance, the Boeing 777F aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control during the landing process, earning an overall score of 84.7%.
