MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,859 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,859 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft, departing from runway 27L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Upon departure, the aircraft lifted off the runway at a speed of 171 knots, covering a takeoff distance of 1,425 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°.
The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Le Thillay, France, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,346 feet above sea level to 32,932 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,586 feet, in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started over Aunou-sur-Orne, France, and lasted for 135 minutes, covering a distance of 1,021 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb, this time from 33,000 feet to 33,945 feet, an increase of 945 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed, starting at a location with coordinates 39.9087304° N and 20.1423432° W, and lasted for 169 minutes, covering a distance of 1,305 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb, this time from 34,006 feet to 35,914 feet, an increase of 1,909 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once again, starting at a location with coordinates 24.8040923° N and 39.1638841° W, and lasted for 170 minutes, covering a distance of 1,343 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 76 miles north of French Guiana, and descended from 35,993 feet to 1,993 feet, a decrease of 34,000 feet, in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once more, starting 3 miles southwest of Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport, and lasted for 46 minutes, covering a distance of 198 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb, this time from 2,298 feet to 18,999 feet, an increase of 16,700 feet, in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed for a final time, starting 4 miles south of Grand-Santi, French Guiana, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 38 miles east of Grand-Santi, and descended from 19,000 feet to 2,498 feet, a decrease of 16,502 feet, in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 66.0°, at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing was made on runway 08, which has a length of 3,195 meters. The threshold speed was good at 147 knots, and the touchdown point was 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SOCA Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 66.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 141 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the expected area. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,781 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-center by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial misaligned touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
