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 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 8.1 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.1 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,233 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,233 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,002 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,213 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 190 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 139 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,124 feet above sea level to 37,036 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 120 minutes and covered a distance of 1,038 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile north of Wuppertal in Germany. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 38,310 feet to 39,680 feet, over the city of Eceabat in Turkey. This climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 497 nautical miles. This phase started 10 miles southeast of LTBH Çanakkale Airport in Turkey. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 59 miles south of R084 Cyprus Static Carrier in Cyprus. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 40,554 feet to 8,692 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. This phase started 20 miles west of Netanya in Israel. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northwest of Shefayim in Israel. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 8,297 feet to 1,448 feet.
The final approach to runway 26 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 260 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height at 74 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 185 knots.
The touchdown point was 558 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 173 knots, which was too fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -167 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 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 15 knots at 260 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,124 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,790 nautical miles, and the flight took 212 minutes to complete, using 26,768 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) on runway 26. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and several key parameters were assessed.
The threshold height at 74 feet agl was found to be well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when approaching the runway threshold. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher altitude during the final approach. The threshold speed, however, was excessively high at 185 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's speed not being adequately managed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 558 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 173 knots was also found to be too fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing a higher-than-expected rate of descent or that the pilots may not have adequately managed the aircraft's speed during the approach. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 2,124 meters, which is approximately 70% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a higher-than-expected rate of deceleration or that the pilots may not have adequately managed the aircraft's speed during the rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 aircraft at Ben Gurion International Airport was satisfactory, but there were several areas for improvement. The pilots may need to work on managing the aircraft's speed and descent rate during the final approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown point and speed. Additionally, the aircraft's performance may need to be evaluated to determine if any adjustments are necessary to improve its landing characteristics.
