MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 63 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 63 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 866 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,177 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,177 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 866 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Boeing 777F began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 18, utilizing 2,355 meters, or 59% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 187 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind of 4 knots at 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it ascended from 1,285 feet above sea level to 30,693 feet, a vertical increase of 29,407 feet, in just 19 minutes and covering 125 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a prolonged level cruise, which lasted 257 minutes and spanned 2,316 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude and decreases in fuel consumption. Notably, the climb from 31,004 feet to 32,916 feet, an increase of 1,912 feet, was achieved in just 2 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, it began its descent from 35,001 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet, a decrease of 33,641 feet, in 21 minutes and covering 117 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05R was executed from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown point 450 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 137 knots. The total landing distance was 2,096 meters, or 63% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 6,110 nautical miles, taking 727 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 104,202 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the south west. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a good approach quality, with a threshold speed of 146 kt, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 64 ft agl was above the desired level, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach profile.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it exhibited a good touchdown speed of 137 kt and a touchdown rate of -188 fpm, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 450 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, did not significantly impact the overall performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline, a deviation that could have been mitigated with more precise control during the final stages of the approach.
The subsequent rollout phase was marked by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying remarkably close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 2,096 m, which accounted for 63% of the runway length, was a respectable figure, given the local weather conditions. The temperature was a relatively high 28 °C, and the wind was blowing at 9 kt from a direction of 40 °, resulting in a 1 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 89.1%, a testament to the crew's skill and the aircraft's capabilities.
