MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 848 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,825 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,825 m of the 3,015 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 848 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 5 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 34R, with a takeoff distance of 1,742 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 180 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a 3-knot wind at 260 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Riverton, Washington, and continued to ascend to 32,745 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,366 feet in 16 minutes, covering 111 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 19 miles northwest of Lost River Airport Mazama, lasting 208 minutes and covering 1,727 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second enroute climb 115 miles northeast of Umiujaq Airport Umiujaq, Quebec, Canada, reaching a height of 34,990 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles. The subsequent enroute level cruise phase lasted 213 minutes, covering 1,864 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final descent 1 mile west of Coreses, Castilla y Leon, Spain, descending from 37,004 feet above sea level to 3,235 feet above sea level in 24 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 18L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, landing smoothly with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,751 meters, accounting for 59% of the runway. Following a 3-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, covering a total distance of 4,672 nautical miles and consuming 74,435 kilograms of fuel in 570 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 18L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -136 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 134 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed of 145 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown point was 438 m beyond the touchdown zone, a distance that could be considered slightly long but still within the acceptable limits.
The approach quality was good, with a steady descent rate and a stable airspeed. The aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was perfect, both during the approach and the rollout phases. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 30 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,751 m was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft staying on the centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 95.4% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
