MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.1° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, starting the flare by 11 ft to give the sink time to be arrested before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 4.9 ft, 6.4 ft below the normal band; a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink, and a bounce often follows at touchdown.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: begin the flare by 11 ft
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 5,479 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,479 ft of the 10,005 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,726 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A flight originating from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (RJTT) departed runway 05, covering 3,705 feet of runway distance before lifting off at a speed of 157 knots. The aircraft encountered a headwind of 6 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots, with a temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit. After a 12-minute taxi, the aircraft took to the skies, embarking on a journey that would span over 5,793 nautical miles.
The initial enroute climb phase began 2 miles east of RJTT, with the aircraft ascending from 1,009 feet above sea level to 34,719 feet in 30 minutes, covering 231 nautical miles. The flight then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 34,719 feet for 44 minutes, covering 420 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with notable increases in altitude and decreases in fuel consumption. The final descent phase began 3 miles east of Hart, Michigan, with the aircraft descending from 40,999 feet to 3,999 feet in 26 minutes, covering 158 nautical miles. The flight then landed on runway 22R at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW), with a total landing distance of 5,222 feet, 52% of the runway length.
The flight's performance was notable, with a total flight time of 702 minutes and a fuel consumption of 147,868 pounds. The aircraft's taxiing times were also recorded, with 12 minutes to the runway and 13 minutes from the runway to the parking. The landing was slightly above target, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centerline. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of performance and efficiency, with a notable decrease in fuel consumption throughout the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, a 10,005-foot-long runway, with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was good, with a heading of 209.0° from the north east at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The touchdown point was 369 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, resulting in a touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 36°F and a light wind of 2 knots at 270°, contributed to a relatively stable approach.
The total landing distance of 5,222 feet was 52% of the runway length, indicating a moderate landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 36 feet from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the optimal path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.6%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing path, the aircraft touched down safely and rolled out without incident.
