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 2,428 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 6,636 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,636 ft of the 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,428 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 25L at KLAX, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 3,718 ft, representing 34 % of the runway, and lifted off at 164 kt. Ambient conditions were 82 °F with a wind of 16 kt from 250°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb commenced overhead El Segundo, California, climbing from 1,075 ft asl to 32,917 ft asl - an increase of 31,843 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 118 nm.
A level cruise segment began 5 miles north-east of 27CA Holiday Ranch Airport, Apple Valley, California, lasting 28 minutes and extending 242 nm.
A second climb started 10 miles south of Cane Beds, Arizona, raising the aircraft from 32,997 ft asl to 34,996 ft asl, a gain of 2,000 ft in 3 minutes over 27 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 10 miles east of Fredonia, Arizona, and persisted for 145 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,223 nm.
Descent began 2 miles north of 05IN Cooper Airport, Belleville, Indiana, with the aircraft descending from 35,003 ft asl to 11,331 ft asl - a loss of 23,673 ft - in 10 minutes while traveling 77 nm.
A brief cruise followed 5 miles west of Bright, Indiana, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nm.
The subsequent descent started 2 miles north-east of Belleview, Kentucky, dropping from 10,646 ft asl to 3,000 ft asl, a decrease of 7,646 ft in 8 minutes and spanning 32 nm.
A final cruise segment began 3 miles south-east of Latonia Lakes, Kentucky, lasting 6 minutes and covering 21 nm.
On final approach to runway 36R at KCVG, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,272 ft agl to 29 ft agl in 89 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36R, which is 9,991 ft long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 152 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,061 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 383 fpm and very good runway-alignment. Local weather at the time was 61 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 260°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing distance recorded was 6,381 ft, representing 64 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,764 nm, required 233 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 69,416 lb of fuel.
