MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to cross the threshold at 149 kt; flying it on speed removes the urge to flare early.
What happened: This flight crossed the threshold at 140 kt, slow against target, then began the flare early at 91 ft. An early flare following a slow threshold speed usually lets the sink rate build back before touchdown, producing the firm touchdown recorded here.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 149 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,603 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.4° against the runway's 3° and speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 149 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,810 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,810 ft of the 11,772 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,301 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
The aircraft departed OMDW Al Maktoum International Airport on runway 12, applying a take-off roll of 5,792 ft (39 % of the runway) and rotating at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were 84 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 119°, providing a headwind component of 4 kt and no crosswind.
Climb commenced 2 miles south of OMDW, with the airframe ascending from 1,101 ft asl to 31,998 ft asl - a gain of 30,897 ft - over 17 minutes while covering 114 nm.
The first cruise segment began 15 miles south-east of OMAI Abu Dhabi Airport and was sustained for 172 minutes, during which 1,327 nm were flown.
A second climb started 8 miles south of Ain Sukhna (As Suways, Egypt), raising the aircraft from 32,166 ft asl to 33,981 ft asl, an increase of 1,815 ft in 2 minutes and spanning 11 nm.
The subsequent cruise leg originated 8 miles west of Ain Sukhna and continued for 204 minutes, covering 1,509 nm.
Descent began 2 miles south of Straz pod Ralskem (Liberecký kraj, Czech Republic), with the aircraft descending from 34,005 ft asl to 1,687 ft asl - a loss of 32,318 ft - in 20 minutes and traversing 110 nm.
Final approach to runway 26R at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport reduced altitude from 1,292 ft agl to 50 ft agl in 99 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 26R was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt (slightly below target), touchdown occurring 1,300 ft down the runway at 134 kt. The touchdown rate was hard at minus 404 fpm, and runway-touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 52 °F, wind 7 kt from 200°, a crosswind component of 6 kt and a headwind component of 3 kt. Total landing distance measured 5,533 ft, representing 47 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained very good.
The runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the noted alignment and concluding the landing phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 3,080 nm, required 427 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 128,572 lbs of fuel.
