MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 5.7 ft, 5.6 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,702 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.85 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The 777-200LR departed Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 07C. The take-off roll was 1,894 m, 48 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 154 kt. Local weather was 12 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 036°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 21 seconds, averaging 2,424 fpm and reaching 176 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,438 ft asl to 33,957 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 77 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-east of the departure airport.
Cruise was maintained at 34,000 ft asl for 41 minutes, covering 322 nm, with the flight path starting roughly 1 mile north of EDYE Eudenbach glider field.
Descent began from 33,346 ft asl and proceeded to 1,603 ft asl in 32 minutes, covering 169 nm. The descent started about 1 mile west of Burwell and included brief level-offs at 29,300 ft asl and at 8,000 ft asl.
On final approach to runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX), the aircraft descended from 1,310 ft agl to 111 ft agl in 101 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was down at 1,220 ft agl at 152 kt, and final flap position 6 was selected at 1,330 ft agl at 164 kt.
Landing was made on runway 09, whose length is 2,702 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 145 kt. The flare was poor, starting late. Touchdown occurred 342 m from the threshold at 144 kt with a firm rate of minus 358 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 4.7 m. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,341 m, 50 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 8.7 m from centreline.
Local weather at the destination was 10 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 100°, giving a 0 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 577 nm in 101 minutes and used 12,514 kg of fuel.
