MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 60 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 60 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 714 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.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,864 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,864 m of the 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 714 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tokyo Haneda International Airport, RJTT, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey with a taxiing period of 15 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 16L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 75% of the 2,256-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 191 knots. Local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a 6-knot wind at 90°, resulting in a 3-knot headwind and a 6-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to 31,106 feet above sea level, it covered 120 nautical miles in 19 minutes, increasing its altitude by 30,069 feet. The enroute level cruise phase began 14 miles east of Asahi, Japan, and lasted for 588 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 5,023 nautical miles. The flight then underwent a series of climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude and decreases in time, before initiating its descent over Varengeville-sur-Mer, France. The aircraft descended from 36,832 feet to 11,240 feet in 14 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise, the aircraft began its final descent, touching down on runway 27R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, LFPG, with a total landing distance of 1,785 meters, or 66% of the 2,692-meter runway.
The flight's total distance was 6,924 nautical miles, covering a significant portion of the globe. The aircraft utilized 116,096 kilograms of fuel during the 864-minute journey. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 21 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The flight's performance was characterized by a mix of efficient climbs, level cruises, and descents, ultimately resulting in a successful landing at its destination.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport with a threshold speed of 142 kt, meeting the target. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a slight deviation in threshold height, being 60 ft agl, which was slightly above the target. The touchdown point was 300 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -208 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a wind of 13 kt at 280 °, resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 12 kt. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions. The total landing distance of 1,785 m was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.8%. The slight deviations in threshold height and touchdown point were minor and did not significantly impact the overall outcome of the landing.
