MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 9.4 ft.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 9.4 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 291 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,076 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,076 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 900 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) in Switzerland. The takeoff distance was 2,799 meters, which was 86% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 200 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 329 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Opfikon, a town in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland, and the aircraft climbed from 2,484 feet above sea level to 30,992 feet, an increase of 28,508 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-east of Peney-le-Jorat, a town in the Canton de Vaud region of Switzerland, and lasted for 80 minutes, covering a distance of 651 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 31,016 feet to 31,983 feet, an increase of 967 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles north-east of Ain Defla, a town in the Wilaya de Ain Defla region of Algeria, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 370 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 31,997 feet to 33,580 feet, an increase of 1,583 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 57 miles west of DATU Timimoun Airport, a small airport in the Beni Abbes region of Algeria, and lasted for 245 minutes, covering a distance of 2,005 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,035 feet to 35,903 feet, an increase of 1,868 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at a location with coordinates 6.0444256° N and 25.6058998° W, and lasted for 149 minutes, covering a distance of 1,155 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,998 feet to 37,999 feet, an increase of 2,001 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles south of Girau do Ponciano, a town in the Alagoas region of Brazil, and lasted for 113 minutes, covering a distance of 856 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles west of Varginha Airport, a small airport in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil. The descent from 38,000 feet to 4,187 feet took 25 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at André Franco Montoro International Airport in Brazil was made from the west, with a heading of 73.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,673 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 2,996 meters long. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 494 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,673 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown point was 494 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was also a bit faster than the ideal speed, which could have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered fair, but it could have been improved with a more precise touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 70°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,005 meters was 67% of the available runway length, which is a relatively safe margin. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters.
