MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
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 2,017 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,017 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 784 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 30 at LPPD João Paulo II Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,144 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Relva in the Azores, Portugal. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,011 feet above sea level to 36,024 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,013 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Santa Barbara in the Azores, Portugal. This phase lasted for 153 minutes, covering a distance of 1,159 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 36,130 feet above sea level to 37,757 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,627 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The climb took place at a specific location, with coordinates of latitude 45.5198451 and longitude -51.9239214.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a location with coordinates of latitude 45.5354595 and longitude -52.2265705. This phase lasted for 104 minutes, covering a distance of 769 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 7 miles southwest of Saint-Come-Liniere in Quebec, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,132 feet above sea level to 1,409 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,723 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 223.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 24R, which had a length of 3,350 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 379 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,947 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,176 nautical miles, taking 310 minutes, and the aircraft used 36,667 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 24R. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 90.9%.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 146 knots. The touchdown point was located 379 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make some adjustments to improve the landing.
The touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,947 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively modest distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a high level of control and precision during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
