MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 6 ft, and this flight then touched down at 190 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,793 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,793 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 490 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 27L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The takeoff distance was 1,189 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 174 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 279°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Roissy-en-France, and climbed from an altitude of 1,365 feet above sea level to 35,047 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,682 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Marcilly-en-Gault, France, and lasted for 197 minutes, covering a distance of 1,481 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 7 miles south of Crampel, Mauritania, and climbed from 35,090 feet above sea level to 36,567 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,476 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting at a location with a latitude of 24.0671579 and a longitude of -8.829891, and lasted for 133 minutes, covering a distance of 1,040 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 17 miles west of DIBC Bocanda Airport, Ivory Coast, and descended from 36,955 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,661 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport was made from the north, heading 202.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which has a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,883 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,761 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 381 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 46,318 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 21 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, occurring 244 meters down the runway. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 5.4 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,883 meters was 63% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance. The runway rollout alignment was flawless, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
