MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 89 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 89 ft, 44 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 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 2,041 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,041 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 660 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 departed from Miami International Airport's runway 08R, taking off into a local temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 109 °. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 kt, utilizing 40% of the 2,700-meter runway. As it climbed away from the airport, the crew encountered a gentle headwind of 6 kt, which aided the aircraft's ascent.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida, where the aircraft transitioned from a low altitude to a cruising altitude of 31,005 ft. This climb phase, which covered 94 nm, was completed in 14 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for extended periods. The first level cruise phase, which lasted 75 minutes, covered 593 nm. The crew then initiated a series of short climb phases to adjust the aircraft's altitude, followed by further level cruise phases. The final level cruise phase, which lasted 167 minutes, covered 1,551 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the crew initiated a descent phase, gradually reducing the aircraft's altitude from 37,001 ft to 1,281 ft. The final approach to runway 18R was made from the north, with the aircraft touching down 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 142 kt, but the runway touchdown position was well-aligned, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,961 meters, utilizing 56% of the 3,527-meter runway. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 4,142 nm and consuming 62,208 kg of fuel in the process.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,282 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nm from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 184.0°. The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 146 kt was achieved as expected.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 142 kt was slightly above the desired value, resulting in a touchdown rate of -232 fpm, which was considered fair. The touchdown point was located 244 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the runway touchdown position was only 6.5 m off-centreline, demonstrating good control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,961 m, accounting for 56% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was particularly impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 93.8% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown and rollout characteristics.
