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 6.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 951 m past the threshold, 494 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,920 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,920 m of the 4,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 951 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, EHAM, commenced with a taxiing period of 12 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles, before the Boeing 777-300 began its departure roll on runway 36L. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 188 knots, utilizing 53% of the 1,883-meter runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile northeast of Vijfhuizen, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, where the aircraft ascended from 912 feet above sea level to 27,174 feet, an increase of 26,262 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 81 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a series of enroute climbs and level cruises that spanned multiple regions, including the Caribbean and South America. The aircraft's cruise levels varied, with the highest point reached at 36,199 feet above sea level. The total enroute distance covered was 5,236 nautical miles, with a flight duration of 700 minutes.
The final approach to runway 36 at Mariscal Sucre International Airport, SEQM, was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending from 10,500 feet above sea level to 1,508 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the 4,113-meter runway, with a touchdown point 538 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,842 meters, or 45% of the runway length. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight. The total fuel consumption for the flight was 100,005 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 36 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport, with a firm touchdown rate of -306 fpm, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown, 148 kt, was a little above the target, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown. The approach quality was otherwise satisfactory, with a very good runway touchdown alignment, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent.
The aircraft's threshold height at 62 ft agl was above the target, suggesting a slightly higher than desired approach path angle. However, the threshold speed of 158 kt was well above the target, indicating a high degree of control and precision in the approach. The touchdown point was 538 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The Boeing 777-300's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled path along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,842 m, which accounts for 45% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 88.2%, reflecting the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
