MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 143 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 140 kt against a VREF of 143 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 143 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 500 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,703 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,703 m of the 4,101 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 835 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) served as the departure point, where the Boeing 777‑300 began its taxi from the parking area to runway 27, a maneuver that required 6 minutes and covered 2 nm. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 175 kt on a takeoff distance of 1,073 m, utilizing 36 % of the available runway. Local conditions at departure were a temperature of 32 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 240°, providing a 3 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind. After liftoff, the climb commenced over VAJJ Juhu Aerodrome, Mumbai, where the aircraft ascended from 967 ft to 35,997 ft, an increase of 35,030 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 154 nm. The subsequent cruise phase began at latitude 18.6400093 and longitude 70.1963938, lasting 96 minutes and covering 847 nm before the descent over Oman.
The descent over Oman began 14 mi northwest of OOII Ibri Airport, Ibri, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 35,985 ft to 5,009 ft, a decrease of 30,975 ft in 19 minutes and covering 118 nm. A brief cruise segment of 5 minutes covered 19 nm before the next descent commenced 22 mi south of OM11 Abu Dhabi Northeast Airport, Suweihan Air Base, Abu Dhabi, dropping from 4,450 ft to 3,082 ft over 2 minutes and 5 nm. Subsequent descent phases near OMAA Zayed International Airport involved a 14‑minute cruise covering 46 nm, followed by a 2‑minute descent from 3,012 ft to 1,646 ft over 5 nm. The final approach to runway 31L at OMAA was executed from the southeast, maintaining a heading of 307.0° at 4 nm and 1,560 ft AGL.
Landing on runway 31L, which measures 4,100 m, the aircraft touched down 424 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt, with a touchdown rate of –119 fpm and a runway alignment described as very good. The touchdown occurred at a threshold height of 60 ft AGL, with a threshold speed of 141 kt. Local weather at touchdown was 35 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 300°, yielding a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 1,628 m, representing 40 % of the runway. After the runway rollout, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. Overall, the flight covered 1,203 nm in 169 minutes, consuming 22,040 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 31L at OMAA Zayed International Airport was executed from the southeast with a heading of 307.0°, maintaining 4 nm and 1,560 ft AGL. The aircraft descended to a threshold height of 60 ft AGL, slightly above the target, yet the approach remained smooth and within acceptable parameters. The threshold speed of 141 kt was achieved, indicating a well‑controlled descent profile.
Touchdown occurred 424 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 kt and a descent rate of –119 fpm, both within the desired range. The aircraft aligned closely with the runway centreline, achieving a very good touchdown alignment. The runway rollout was similarly well‑executed, with alignment described as very good, and the total landing distance measured 1,628 m, representing 40 % of the 4,100 m runway length.
Overall, the landing performance was exemplary, reflected in an overall score of 90.2 %. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were executed with precision, maintaining optimal speeds and alignment while achieving a short landing distance under the prevailing weather conditions of 35 °C, 2 kt wind from 300°, 0 kt crosswind, and 1 kt headwind.
