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 87 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 87 ft, 42 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 2,157 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,157 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 713 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH), with a takeoff distance of 1,919 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 185 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Hong Kong International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 59°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,041 feet above sea level to 7,996 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,955 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 16 nautical miles, starting 2 miles southwest of Sok Kwu Wan. The next enroute climb phase began 10 miles southeast of Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport (VHXG), with the aircraft ascending from 7,996 feet to 25,635 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,639 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 37 minutes and covered 272 nautical miles, starting 7 miles southwest of Licheng. The next enroute climb phase began 34 miles east of Xishan, with the aircraft ascending from 25,790 feet to 27,699 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,908 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 363 minutes and covered 2,776 nautical miles, starting 15 miles northeast of Xishan. The next enroute climb phase began at a specific latitude and longitude, with the aircraft ascending from 27,755 feet to 32,099 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,344 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 207 minutes and covered 1,493 nautical miles, starting 8 miles north of Tuwer. The next enroute climb phase began 1 mile south of Elek, with the aircraft ascending from 32,157 feet to 34,145 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,988 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 81 minutes and covered 617 nautical miles, starting 3 miles east of Csorvas. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Nordwalde, with the aircraft descending from 33,914 feet to 1,267 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,647 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,527 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 knots and a touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute, both of which were good.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was located 280 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute was also satisfactory.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which is a minor issue. However, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during landing.
The total landing distance of 2,058 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
