MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Leave the power coming off through the flare, and add none back once you are over the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 138 kt and touched down at 140 kt: it gained 2 kt where a flare normally loses speed, and the flare ballooned before it touched down 1,403 m past the target point. Speed put back on after the threshold usually balloons the flare and carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Airspeed: falling steadily from the threshold to the touchdown.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,449 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,449 m of the 2,555 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,860 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A380-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at RKSI Incheon International Airport in 7 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16L, the aircraft used 2,561 m of runway, representing 64 % of the available length, and lifted off at 168 kt; ambient temperature was 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 040°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The initial en-route climb began 2 mi south of RKSI, climbing from 1,002 ft asl to 9,162 ft asl, an altitude gain of 8,159 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 16 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 7 mi south-west of Ansan-si, lasting 5 minutes and traversing 25 nm.
A second climb segment started 2 mi north of RK1H Camp McNair Heliport, ascending from 9,995 ft asl to 35,001 ft asl, a gain of 25,006 ft over 20 minutes and 151 nm.
The subsequent cruise phase originated 31 mi east of RKTB Paekado Helipad and continued for 676 minutes, covering 6,522 nm.
Descent began 3 mi south of Saw Creek in Pennsylvania, United States, with the aircraft descending from 34,372 ft asl to 1,277 ft asl, a loss of 33,095 ft in 21 minutes while traveling 137 nm.
Final approach to runway 22L at KJFK John F. Kennedy International Airport reduced altitude from 1,292 ft agl to 52 ft agl in 112 seconds; the approach was recorded as having met the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 22L was executed with a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown occurred beyond the midpoint of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available length, at a speed of 141 kt and a hard touchdown rate of minus 411 fpm, with the touchdown point offset 6.5 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 14 °C, wind 6 kt from 220°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component. Total landing distance measured 2,370 m, equivalent to 93 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, completing the landing phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 6,862 nm, required 736 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 169,665 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 88.1%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target at 67 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was good at 127 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown point was 571 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length of 3,345 meters.
The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,818 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to achieve a good score. However, there were some minor issues with the threshold height and touchdown point, which could be addressed in future landings to improve the score further.
