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 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 405 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
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 1,946 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,946 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 740 m past the threshold — beyond 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). The takeoff distance was 806 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Artemida, Attica, Greece, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,252 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,766 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 101 nautical miles and took 16 minutes to complete.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northwest of Xylokastro, Peloponnese, Greece. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 426 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Alvignano, Campania, Italy, and descended from an altitude of 37,594 feet above sea level to 1,336 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 165 nautical miles and took 33 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 16L at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF) was made from the north, with a heading of 162.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 16L, which had a length of 3,894 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 329 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -205 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 244 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,871 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 702 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,626 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on runway 16L. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good speed of 144 knots during the approach, which is considered optimal for a smooth landing.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was slightly above the target height of 57 feet agl, but this did not significantly impact the landing. The touchdown point was 329 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the aircraft still managed to maintain a fair touchdown rate of -205 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 244°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots, making the landing even smoother. The runway length of 3,894 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 1,871 meters was 48% of the 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's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing it to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 92.1%.
