MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.5 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 5,062 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,062 ft of the 9,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,083 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777F taxiing from the parking area to the runway at East Midlands Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 5,242 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Weston upon Trent, Derbyshire, England, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,320 feet above sea level to 30,811 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,491 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north west of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, England, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 8 miles north west of Blankenberge, Flanders, Belgium, and the aircraft descended from 30,777 feet above sea level to 1,881 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,896 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Liège Airport was made from the north east, heading 225.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,090 feet, which was 48% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -491 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, taking 61 minutes, and the aircraft used 16,974 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EBLG Liège Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 22L was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 135 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,090 feet was also within the expected range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than ideal, at -491 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper-than-desired descent angle.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13 feet, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not pose a significant challenge to the pilots. The total landing distance of 4,801 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is within the expected range for a Boeing 777F aircraft. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
