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 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring speed back to 153 kt by the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 188 kt against a target of 153 kt, and the flare that followed strayed from its usual profile; this combination usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 153 kt at the threshold
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 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,706 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,706 m of the 2,175 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 822 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight involved a Boeing 777-300 departing from ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, operating on runway 06. Following a 56-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, the aircraft successfully took off at 891 meters, 22% of the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 169 knots. At the time of departure, local weather conditions included a temperature of 11°C, wind at 9 knots from 59°, resulting in a headwind of 9 knots.
Once airborne, the aircraft climbed from 2,249 feet to 22,504 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. This initial enroute climb took place over Sandweiler, Luxembourg.
Following this initial ascent, the aircraft descended from 22,438 to 14,379 feet over the Messancy area of Wallonia, Belgium. This descent was achieved in just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then engaged in level cruise flight for several intervals, starting over Meix-devant-Virton in Wallonia, and later over Tarchamps, Luxembourg. The longest level cruise segment occurred over Tarchamps, spanning 33 minutes and covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to engage in enroute climbs over various locations, including Florenville, Leglise, and Tarchamps. One notable climb took place from 4,679 to 27,547 feet over 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final descent into EDLP Paderborn Lippstadt Airport began 4 miles east of Willingen, Germany. Following this descent, the aircraft went through a go-around and attempted a final landing on runway 06 at Paderborn.
The landing took place with a threshold speed that was too high and a touchdown point that was slightly beyond the touchdown zone. Local weather conditions during the landing included a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 90°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, totaling 56,548 kilograms, for the 311 nautical mile journey that lasted for 63 minutes. After landing, the taxi to the parking area took a mere 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft executed a landing on runway 06 at EDLP Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, with a score of 82.1%. The initial approach was from the south-west, heading 60.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,927 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon assessing the landing performance, it is apparent that the aircraft touched down beyond the intended touchdown zone. The touchdown point was 422 meters down the runway from the threshold, which indicates that the aircraft's final approach and flare were not perfectly executed.
The landing metrics also revealed that the aircraft touched down with a speed of 171 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for a safe touchdown. This could have contributed to the touchdown point being further down the runway than desired. Additionally, the aircraft's descent rate of -299 feet per minute was only considered fair, suggesting that the pilots may have been experiencing some difficulties with controlling the aircraft's altitude.
In terms of alignment, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also not perfectly aligned, being off by 9.4 meters from the centerline. This misalignment could have resulted in some difficulties during the taxi phase of the flight.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a headwind of 9 knots that was partially offset by a crosswind of 6 knots from the same direction. This suggests that the pilots may not have had to contend with a significant crosswind component, which could have contributed to the difficulties experienced during landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 on runway 06 at EDLP Paderborn Lippstadt Airport was marked by some challenges, including an excessive touchdown speed, a misaligned touchdown point, and a non-optimal rollout alignment. Despite these difficulties, the pilots were still able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop, resulting in a score of 82.1%.
