MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 178 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 199 kt against a rotation target of 178 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 178 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 203 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 301 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 2,365 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,365 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,330 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began by taxiing to the runway, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles in 8 minutes. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, departed from runway 33R at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport. Upon departure, the aircraft achieved a liftoff speed of 199 knots and a takeoff distance of 2,058 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length.
As the aircraft rose into the air, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,568 feet above sea level to 30,867 feet, an increase of 29,299 feet, in 19 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered 126 nautical miles and navigated through various airspaces in and around Canada.
The first level cruise segment took place 8 miles northwest of Camden East / Varty Lake Airport, lasting 167 minutes and covering 1,452 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again from 30,789 feet to 32,560 feet in 2 minutes, and then transitioned into another level cruise segment. This pattern continued as the aircraft flew over the Irish Sea, ascending, descending, and cruising at different altitudes.
A notable climb from 33,347 feet to 35,006 feet occurred 3 miles west of Douglas, Isle of Man, which was quickly followed by another level cruise segment. Another climb from 35,155 feet to 37,156 feet took place 9 miles northwest of Tosya, Turkey, before the aircraft transitioned into yet another level cruise segment.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting from 36,775 feet above sea level to 2,871 feet, a decrease of 33,904 feet, in 32 minutes. This descent was followed by another short level cruise segment above Sharjah Airport in the United Arab Emirates.
The final descent began overhead Sharjah Airport, from 2,340 feet to 1,315 feet, a decrease of 1,025 feet, in just 2 minutes. The aircraft then proceeded to the final approach to runway 30L at Dubai International Airport, landing at a speed of 132 knots with a touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute. However, the touchdown was slightly off-centerline, with a runway touchdown position misaligned by 8.9 meters.
The landing distance was 2,284 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The aircraft's total fuel consumption for the flight was 107,214 kilograms, and the total flight distance was 6,087 nautical miles, completed in 768 minutes. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 30L at Dubai International Airport, achieving an overall score of 81.8%. The final approach to the runway was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).
The flight crew's performance in terms of final approach speed was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 140 knots, which was within the expected target. However, the threshold height, being 82 feet agl, was significantly above the target height. Despite this, the aircraft made a good touchdown, with a speed of 132 knots. The touchdown point, however, was located 913 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the flight crew's touchdown point was slightly off the intended spot.
The landing rate of the aircraft was considered fair at -286 feet per minute (fpm). This, combined with the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centreline, raises some concerns about the crew's ability to accurately control the aircraft during landing. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33 °C and a very light wind of 2 kt at 24°, did not play a significant role in the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 2,284 meters was 64% of the runway length of 3,595 meters. Runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. These minor deviations from the ideal may not have had a significant impact on the landing performance, but they do highlight areas for potential improvement.
Overall, while the landing was considered satisfactory, there were some discrepancies in terms of touchdown height and positioning, as well as runway rollout alignment. These issues may be addressed through crew training and practice to achieve higher levels of precision and accuracy during landing.
