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 9.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.1 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.1 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,705 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,705 m of the 3,831 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 01 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT). The takeoff distance was 2,087 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 200 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from Cape Town, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and climbing to an altitude of 32,888 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 135 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 31,719 feet.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it began its enroute level cruise, which started 21 miles northeast of Clanwilliam Airport (FAFC). This cruise phase lasted for 467 minutes and covered a distance of 3,794 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 35 miles south of Ras Sumeira Airport (OM0A) in Saudi Arabia. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 31,229 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Doha International Airport (OTBD), it began its final approach to runway 33 from the southeast, heading 338.0° at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 33, which has a length of 3,831 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -204 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,033 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 524 minutes. The aircraft used 76,872 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OTBD Doha International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the good threshold height and very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 143 knots, registering at 140 knots. This slight deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown point was located 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 250°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,633 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 at OTBD Doha International Airport was impressive, with a score of 98.7%. This achievement reflects the skill and expertise of the pilots, as well as the aircraft's capabilities and the airport's infrastructure.
