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 6.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 80 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 80 ft, 35 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 472 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach that landed joined below the 300 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
Side view — the last 1,758 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,758 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 757 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, EDLP. The Boeing 777-300 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,779 meters, which was 82% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 192 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, it began its enroute climb from 1,730 feet above sea level to 9,094 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,365 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise, after which the aircraft began another climb from 7,406 feet above sea level to 9,194 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,788 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another climb from 9,194 feet above sea level to 30,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,810 feet in 13 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 21 minutes, covering 91 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew overhead Attendorn, Germany.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 29,996 feet above sea level to 3,009 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,987 feet in 6 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a brief climb from 2,993 feet above sea level to 4,159 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,166 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered its final approach phase, descending from 4,133 feet above sea level to 2,333 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,800 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach was to runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, ELLX, from the north-east, with a heading of 258.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,081 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 323 feet above ground level due to an unknown reason. The aircraft then landed on runway 24 at ELLX, with a runway length of 3,989 meters. The touchdown point was 282 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -448 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 1,618 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 184 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,944 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 258.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,081 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's speed and altitude were within acceptable limits, but the threshold height at 126 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,989 meters. The touchdown point was 282 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -448 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating a potentially rough landing experience for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 1,618 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal rollout path.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including the excessive threshold height, hard touchdown rate, and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions. These deviations could be addressed through adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures to ensure a smoother and more precise landing experience.
