MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 155 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 175 kt against a rotation target of 155 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 155 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 201 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 357 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,539 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,539 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 755 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,666 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 324°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, and the aircraft ascended from 1,060 feet above sea level to 34,370 feet, an increase of 33,310 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of Hogsback Ranch Red Bluff, California, and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 708 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 33,961 feet to 35,402 feet, an increase of 1,440 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise that started 12 miles northeast of Canmore, Alberta, Canada, and lasted for 255 minutes, covering a distance of 2,158 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. Notably, the climb from 33,922 feet to 35,916 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles, and the level cruise that started 1 mile southeast of Haderslev, Denmark, and lasted for 130 minutes, covering 1,109 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 40,367 feet to 1,500 feet, a decrease of 38,867 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) was from the southwest, with a heading of 43.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,208 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 1,089 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 03R, with a touchdown point 329 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 20°.
The total landing distance was 1,449 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,925 nautical miles, taking 730 minutes, and the aircraft used 85,502 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 03R. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,208 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 125 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 329 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing. The runway length of 3,403 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,449 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 94.3%. The slight deviations in touchdown point and touchdown rate were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
