MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 17° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 140 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 33 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 931 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 140 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,782 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,782 m of the 4,022 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 789 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, departing from runway 09R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 2,301 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 185 knots, with a local temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 169 degrees. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Heathrow, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Feltham, Greater London, England. The climb started at an altitude of 1,054 feet above sea level and reached 5,918 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 3 minutes, covering another 17 nautical miles, before beginning another climb 1 mile south east of Burham, Kent, England.
This second climb took the aircraft from 5,934 feet to 30,526 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 112 minutes, covering 927 nautical miles, before beginning another climb 1 mile north of Razvad, Dambovita, Romania. This climb took the aircraft from 30,785 feet to 32,718 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise and climb, with further level segments over Meerbeke, Flanders, Belgium, and Snagov, Ilfov, Romania, as well as climbs over Bukri, Ahal, Turkmenistan, and Nagram, Uttar Pradesh, India. The final climb took the aircraft from 35,898 feet to 37,552 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 12 miles south west of WMKD Kuantan Airport, Kuantan, Malaysia. The descent took the aircraft from 40,458 feet to 1,313 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. The final approach was made to runway 20C at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS), with the aircraft landing at a speed of 126 knots and a touchdown point 358 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 339 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was also 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,686 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft used a total of 98,763 kilograms of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 6,003 nautical miles and took 894 minutes to complete.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Singapore Changi Airport's runway 20C, achieving an overall score of 87.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a threshold height that was significantly above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also satisfactory, reaching 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 358 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 126 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -482 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 339°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 4 knots each, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,686 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a satisfactory score of 87.9%. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly deviated touchdown point may indicate areas for improvement in the approach and landing phase.
