MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Check your climb speed
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,805 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 885 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 14R at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,988 feet, which was 77% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots at 98 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Riverton, Washington. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,018 feet above sea level to 34,736 feet above sea level.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 17 miles south of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada. This phase lasted for 144 minutes and covered a distance of 1,213 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,011 feet above sea level to 37,019 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles in just 4 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 73 miles east of CYBK Baker Lake Airport, Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. This phase lasted for 319 minutes and covered a distance of 2,675 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south of Cheadle, Staffordshire, England. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,978 feet above sea level to 8,413 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, starting overhead various locations in England, including Catworth, Waresley, and Biggleswade. These phases were relatively short, lasting between 2 and 6 minutes, and covered distances of between 6 and 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at EGGW London Luton Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 74.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 124 knots and a distance of 882 feet. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,099 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 26 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,173 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 542 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 154,040 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EGGW London Luton Airport, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 882 feet, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 47°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible.
The total landing distance of 4,099 feet was 60% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase and did not experience any significant deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which can be addressed through adjustments to the approach and landing technique.
