MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,010 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 689 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,072 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 185 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 140°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Tempe, a town in the state of New South Wales, Australia, and the aircraft climbed from 1,013 feet above sea level to 30,102 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,089 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles south of Gulgong, another town in New South Wales, and lasted for 96 minutes, covering a distance of 824 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 30,064 feet above sea level to 31,827 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,763 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This climb started 4 miles east of Balgal Beach, a town in the state of Queensland, Australia.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles south of Taylors Beach, another town in Queensland, and lasted for 214 minutes, covering a distance of 1,807 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 31,998 feet above sea level to 33,906 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,908 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This climb started 60 miles southwest of the EM05 Pacific Ocean Moving Carrier - CVN69, a naval vessel located in the state of Yap, Micronesia.
The enroute level cruise started 56 miles southwest of the EM05 Pacific Ocean Moving Carrier - CVN69 and lasted for 235 minutes, covering a distance of 1,601 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 80 miles east of ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, China. The descent from 34,354 feet above sea level to 3,025 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,329 feet in 19 minutes, covered a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles south of ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 2,744 feet above sea level to 1,278 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,466 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This descent started 9 miles south of ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
The final approach to runway 35R at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport was made from the south, heading 342.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35R, which was 4,010 meters long, was successful, with a touchdown point 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 5 knots,
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 35R was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 342.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 147 knots. The touchdown point was 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the designated area. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,200 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 4.3 meters from the centerline was the only notable deviation from the ideal landing performance.
