MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 621 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 63 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 63 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 988 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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 1,827 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,827 m of the 3,658 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 988 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 9 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then rolled down runway 24L, taking off with a distance of 2,152 meters, which was 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 193 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 200°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The enroute climb started overhead Dorval, Quebec, Canada, where the aircraft climbed from 1,038 feet above sea level to 28,936 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,898 feet in 17 minutes, covering 116 nautical miles. The flight then entered a level cruise, lasting 23 minutes and covering 205 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with notable climbs at various points, including a 1,515-foot increase in 2 minutes over Renous, New Brunswick, and a 1,853-foot increase in 2 minutes over an unspecified location. The flight then entered a prolonged level cruise, lasting 252 minutes and covering 2,175 nautical miles.
The flight continued to climb and cruise, with a final climb to 34,839 feet above sea level over Ratece, Slovenia. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 233 minutes and covering 1,974 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 8 miles south of Tohana, India, where the aircraft descended from 37,001 feet above sea level to 2,079 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,922 feet in 22 minutes, covering 126 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 29R at Indira Gandhi International Airport was from the east, and the aircraft landed with a total landing distance of 1,749 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,771 nautical miles, taking 792 minutes, and the aircraft used 111,072 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 29R at Indira Gandhi International Airport, VIDP, with a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,328 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 284.0 degrees. The threshold speed was well within the target range at 144 knots, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent and speed.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown point was located 575 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, resulting in a slightly longer than ideal landing distance. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute was somewhat higher than desired, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than intended. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control issue during the final stages of the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating good control and stability during the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,749 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.9%, reflecting a good but not outstanding execution of the landing.
