MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 18 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 18 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 18 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,067 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,067 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 664 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question started with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place from runway 05C at HECA Cairo International Airport, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots. The takeoff distance was 1,021 meters, which was 26% of the runway length.
As the aircraft began its takeoff phase, it was faced with local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 28°C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 349 degrees, which resulted in a headwind of 5 knots and a crosswind of 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead HECA Cairo International Airport and continued to 34,020 feet above sea level, a rise of 32,628 feet. This climb phase took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles.
Upon reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, starting 9 miles east of HEAX El Nuzha Airport in Alexandria, Egypt, and lasting 129 minutes. The distance covered during this phase was 983 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued to climb, this time overhead Apsevci in Croatia, reaching an altitude of 36,210 feet above sea level, a rise of 2,012 feet. This climb took only 3 minutes and covered 27 nautical miles.
Following another brief cruise phase, the aircraft began a climb from 36,237 feet above sea level to 38,242 feet above sea level, a rise of 2,005 feet, in only 3 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued its journey, starting another level cruise 4 miles south of LHPB Dáka Airport in Papa, Hungary, which lasted 60 minutes and covered 462 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it descended from 38,249 feet above sea level to 10,539 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,710 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 92 nautical miles. The enroute descent took place around 3 miles west of Hamm, Germany. The aircraft then entered another brief level cruise, 4 miles west of Dronten, the Netherlands, lasting 3 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft began its final descent from 10,237 feet above sea level to 1,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,964 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. This final descent took place around 1 mile south of Wijdenes, the Netherlands.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was commenced from the north, with a heading of 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place successfully, despite the aircraft touching down 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 141 knots, which was slightly fast. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline due to a crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,985 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,816 nautical miles, took 266 minutes, and consumed 31,009 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 successfully completed its landing at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a final approach score of 94.8%. As the aircraft descended from the north, it maintained a heading of 183.0° and was 4 nautical miles (nm) away at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway, landing on runway 18R, which has a length of 3,527 meters. The threshold height was within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed of 147 knots was satisfactory. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the intended touchdown zone, 247 meters from the threshold, which suggests that the pilot might have landed a bit late.
The touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, indicating that the pilot might have made slight adjustments during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute was acceptable, considering the circumstances. Although the aircraft's touchdown position was slightly off-centerline by 4.1 meters, this deviation had little impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and wind speeds of 3 knots at 110°. Given the 3-knot crosswind and 1-knot headwind, the pilot executed the landing with minimal deviations. Following touchdown, the total landing distance covered 1,985 meters, which accounts for 56% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient control and braking performance to come to a safe stop without deviating significantly from the centerline.
Throughout the rollout, the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating the pilot's excellent handling skills and the aircraft's responsive performance. Overall, the landing was a solid success, with minor flaws that did not significantly affect the overall performance.
