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 11°, 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 earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 5.6 ft, 5.7 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 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 2,108 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,108 m of the 3,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 786 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,682 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 159 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,029 feet above sea level to 30,906 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,878 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Ennigerloh in Germany. This phase lasted for 192 minutes and covered a distance of 1,593 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 8 miles east of Arpacay in Turkey. The climb took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 31,311 feet above sea level to 33,306 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,995 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Jrashen in Armenia. This phase lasted for 217 minutes and covered a distance of 1,887 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting at a specific latitude and longitude. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 33,410 feet above sea level to 34,848 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,437 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude. This phase lasted for 210 minutes and covered a distance of 1,719 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 8 miles south of Daliang in China. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,194 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,890 feet.
The final approach to runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 71.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07C, which has a length of 3,452 meters. The threshold height at 70 feet above ground level was well above target, and the threshold speed was good at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 372 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,029 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport on runway 07C, achieving a high score of 89.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height being well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. The threshold speed was also good, at 147 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was 372 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, and the touchdown speed of 145 knots was also good.
However, the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 60°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,029 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop smoothly and safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with only a few minor areas for improvement.
