MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 622 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
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 1,970 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,970 m of the 3,140 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 622 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport in 10 minutes, covering 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 36L, the Boeing 777-300 used a takeoff distance of 2,487 m (57 % of the runway) and lifted off at 180 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 39 °C, wind 5 kt from 249°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
The first en-route climb began 2 mi east of San Sebastian de los Reyes, climbing from 3,053 ft asl to 31,993 ft asl - an increase of 28,940 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 109 nm.
Level cruise commenced 1 mi west of Talayuela and continued for 80 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 614 nm.
A second climb started 49 mi north-east of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, rising from 31,999 ft asl to 33,667 ft asl - a gain of 1,668 ft - in 2 minutes and traversing 13 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment began 35 mi north-east of the same airport and lasted 230 minutes, covering 1,878 nm.
A third climb was initiated at latitude 6.5608401, longitude -33.0537101, climbing from 34,001 ft asl to 35,809 ft asl - an increase of 1,808 ft - in 2 minutes over a distance of 14 nm.
The following cruise phase started at latitude 6.3338539, longitude -33.1758995 and persisted for 185 minutes, during which 1,505 nm were flown.
Descent began 24 mi south of SDS2 Fazenda Macaúba Airport Posse, descending from 36,002 ft asl to 4,790 ft asl - a loss of 31,212 ft - in 20 minutes while covering 111 nm.
For the final approach to runway 29L at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 265.0°, at 4 nm and 1,318 ft agl.
Landing on runway 29L was executed with a runway length of 3,286 m; the threshold speed was 147 kt, the touchdown point lay 362 m beyond the touchdown zone, touchdown speed was 137 kt, and touchdown rate was minus 155 fpm, with perfect alignment and local weather of 18 °C, wind 3 kt from 228°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
The rollout distance measured 2,046 m, representing 62 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 4,255 nm, lasted 548 minutes, and consumed 19,642 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 executed a final approach to runway 29L at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 265.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,318 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At the threshold the aircraft encountered good threshold height and established a threshold speed of 147 kt, consistent with the runway length of 3,286 m. The flare was performed in accordance with the aircraft’s performance parameters.
Touchdown occurred 362 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt deemed good and a touchdown rate of minus 155 fpm recorded as good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 2,046 m, representing 62 % of the runway. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 3 kt from 228 °, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
To refine the already strong performance, aim to achieve touchdown nearer the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point to reduce the 362 m overshoot, while maintaining the current speed and alignment that produced the high score of 95.3 %.
