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 4.9°, 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 58 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 58 ft, 13 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,454 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 01R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,191 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it first ascended from 3,201 feet above sea level to 35,154 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,953 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. This climb started overhead Paradise, Nevada. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which began 19 miles north of L50 Tuweep Tuweep, Arizona, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 280 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,092 feet above sea level to 37,100 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,008 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. This climb started 3 miles northwest of Mesawood Airpark Cedaredge, Colorado. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which began 14 miles southwest of Carbondale, Colorado, and lasted for 163 minutes, covering a distance of 1,449 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 3 miles southeast of Dupont, Pennsylvania. The descent from 37,313 feet above sea level to 1,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,028 feet, took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 301.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 64 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,400 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,967 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 246 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 28,193 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31R at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) with a score of 98.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 146 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 64 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The total landing distance of 1,400 meters was 57% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good threshold speed and maintaining perfect alignment during the rollout phase. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and moderate touchdown rate indicate areas for improvement in the landing technique.
