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 5.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 86 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 86 ft, 41 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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 roll
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 3,501 m runway.
Rolled from 84 m in, drifted 4.8 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 57 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 930 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,186 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,740 fpm on average to 930 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 30 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 9× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 12 m left of it from 0.4 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +5 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 144 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

Side view — the last 1,724 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 53 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 758 m in, 453 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,724 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 560 fpm at 53 ft to 260 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.0° on the way down. Into 53 ft at 155 kt, 11 kt over the 144 kt approach speed, and 145 kt at touchdown.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,724 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 1.9 m of it down the rollout. No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 180° at 9 kt · 9 kt head · 0 kt across
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
Touched down 758 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 143 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 48 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, a Mexican airport. The takeoff distance was 1,994 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún. The climb took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,026 feet above sea level to 37,812 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,785 feet. The distance covered during this period was 174 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 41 minutes and covered a distance of 1,249 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location, defined by latitude 23.9333713 and longitude -87.1089897. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began another climb, this time starting 2 miles south east of 32NE Mc Ginn Ranch Airport in Dunning, Nebraska. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 38,007 feet above sea level to 40,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,997 feet. The distance covered during this period was 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 664 nautical miles. This phase took place 20 miles west of 1NE0 Higgins Bros Airport in Brownlee, Nebraska. Following the second cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, starting 11 miles west of Vauxhall, Alberta, Canada. The descent took 12 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,415 feet above sea level to 4,823 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,592 feet. The distance covered during this period was 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 179.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 17L, which had a length of 4,265 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 155 knots.
The touchdown point was 348 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,242 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 29,120 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
