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 65 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 65 ft, 20 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 1,825 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,825 m of the 3,802 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 768 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777F departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then rolled down runway 16L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 188 knots. The takeoff distance was 2,056 meters, utilizing 57% of the runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 10°C, with a 3-knot headwind and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Des Moines, Washington, where the aircraft ascended from 1,257 feet above sea level to 32,000 feet in 18 minutes, covering 107 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 322 minutes and covered 2,499 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several climbs and level cruises, with notable ascents from 32,164 feet to 33,921 feet in 2 minutes, and from 34,002 feet to 35,589 feet in 2 minutes. The final descent began 47 miles north of Dongying, China, where the aircraft descended from 35,998 feet to 17,482 feet in 7 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles.
The Boeing 777F landed on runway 19 at Beijing Capital International Airport, with a touchdown point 355 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, and the touchdown rate was -210 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,747 meters, utilizing 46% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 5,402 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 747 minutes and a fuel consumption of 102,197 kilograms.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 19 at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 173.0° as it descended from 4 nautical miles out, at an altitude of 1,370 feet above ground level. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 137 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown point was located 355 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute was slightly higher than ideal, but still considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,747 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.2%.
