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 7.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 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 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 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: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,331 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,331 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,009 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This commercial flight was conducted on a Boeing 777F aircraft, departing from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. The pre-flight taxi, from the parking to the runway, took 5 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft started rolling on the runway, it took off from runway 06, with 75% of the 3,087 meter runway being utilized for the takeoff. The liftoff speed was recorded at 173 knots.
The aircraft experienced favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C, a slight tailwind of 1 knot and minimal crosswind of 5 knots. The wind direction was 150°. The aircraft then initiated an enroute climb, taking off from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and flying northeast, before leveling off at an altitude of 34,193 feet.
The enroute level cruise lasted for 187 minutes, covering a significant 1,502 nautical miles. The flight plan took the aircraft south of Maralal Airport, Maralal District, Kenya, followed by a brief ascent and another prolonged level cruise. The latter started 8 miles southeast of Al Wajh Domestic Airport, Al Wajh, Saudi Arabia, and lasted 213 minutes, covering 1,677 nautical miles.
Before arriving at its next destination, the aircraft initiated a sharp descent from a maximum altitude of 36,037 feet to 2,797 feet above sea level. This dramatic change in elevation occurred in just 20 minutes and covered 96 nautical miles. After this descent, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport in a westerly direction and started descending 3 miles west of Rohrmoos, in Austria.
Upon entering the final approach phase, conditions were generally favorable with a temperature of 10°C. A moderate tailwind of 1 knot existed, while the crosswind was minimal at 0 knots. Wind direction was 270°. As the aircraft approached the landing threshold, the threshold height was above the target, but still a relatively safe height. The threshold speed, however, was slightly greater than the target.
Upon touchdown on the 3,987 meter runway, the aircraft landed 600 meters beyond the defined touchdown zone. However, touchdown speed was recorded at a satisfactory 138 knots, and the touchdown rate of -151 ft per minute indicated good performance. The runway touchdown position deviated by just 4.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft utilized approximately 57% of the entire runway, and the landing distance was reported to be 2,257 meters. Once on the ground, the runway rollout was successfully aligned, and taxiing to the parking area took just 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Throughout the flight, a massive total distance of 3,431 nautical miles was traversed, taking a total of 453 minutes. The flight utilized a considerable amount of 57,947 kilograms of fuel.
In the recent landing attempt of a Boeing 777F aircraft at EDDM Munich Airport, the flight demonstrated a satisfactory performance. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 08R from the west, at a heading of 83.0° and a distance of 4 nautical miles away at an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level (agl). The crew successfully executed a precision landing, touching down on the runway at a speed of 138 knots (kt), which was slightly lower than the target speed, making it an efficient and controlled touchdown.
Upon evaluation, it was determined that the aircraft's touchdown speed was good, and the touchdown rate, which measures the descent rate at the moment of touching down, was also within the acceptable range at -151 feet per minute (fpm). The runway length of 3,987 meters posed no significant challenges for the aircraft, given its specifications. The threshold height at 69 feet (21 meters) above ground level was, however, slightly higher than the target, indicating that the aircraft might have descended a bit slower than expected.
Upon inspection of the landing metrics, it was observed that the touchdown point was located approximately 600 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. This deviation, however, did not affect the overall performance of the flight, as the aircraft maintained a consistent and controlled descent throughout the landing. Also noted was that the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 kt.
Local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10 °C and a wind speed of only 1 kt from the northwest. There was a moderate tailwind of 1 kt, but the crosswind component was negligible, making no significant impact on the aircraft's flight dynamics. The minimal wind influence contributed to a more predictable and stable approach, further enhancing the crew's ability to accurately guide the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 2,257 meters accounted for only 57% of the available runway length, which represents an acceptable margin. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment proved to be very good, demonstrating the crew's precise control over the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
