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 46 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 6,312 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,312 ft of the 13,464 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,004 ft 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. The takeoff distance was 3,884 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Doha, it encountered local weather conditions of 78°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,042 feet above sea level to 3,630 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,588 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles north of the airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 13 miles east of the airport, where it climbed from 4,012 feet above sea level to 21,097 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,085 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 14 miles west of OMAS Das Island Airport in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and lasted for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 15 miles east of OMAM Al Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi, where it descended from 21,080 feet above sea level to 5,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,088 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles west of Abu Dhabi and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent 19 miles south of OM11 Abu Dhabi Northeast Airport - Suweihan Air Base in Abu Dhabi, where it descended from 5,017 feet above sea level to 1,368 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,649 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31L at OMAA Zayed International Airport was made from the south-east, heading 308.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 651 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 6,059 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 287 nautical miles, and the flight took 80 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 21,261 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The final approach to runway 31L was initiated from the southeast, heading 308.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 58 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 141 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 651 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the landing. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline, which may have resulted in a slightly uneven rollout. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the uneven rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F. The total landing distance of 6,059 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively acceptable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777F at OMAA Zayed International Airport was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. However, the aircraft's ability to maintain control and manage its descent during the final stages of the landing was commendable.
