MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 2.4 ft, and this flight then touched down at 207 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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 1,795 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,795 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 746 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The departure roll from runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 1,969 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 181 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots (kt) at 170°. The crosswind component was 1 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. As the aircraft climbed out of Tokyo, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,060 feet above sea level (asl) to 16,967 ft asl, an increase of 15,907 ft.
The enroute climb was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nm. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 17,044 ft asl to 29,034 ft asl, an increase of 11,990 ft in 13 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 97 nm. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with each level cruise segment lasting from 2 to 160 minutes and covering distances ranging from 11 to 1,333 nm.
The flight route took the aircraft over several countries, including Japan, the Faroe Islands, and France. The aircraft made several climbs and descents, with the final descent starting overhead Ditchling in East Sussex, England. The descent took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,861 ft asl to 6,994 ft asl, a decrease of 29,867 ft.
The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 kt, but the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 8 kt at 210°. The crosswind component was 7 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt. The total landing distance was 1,711 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. The total flight distance was 6,747 nm, and the flight duration was 863 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 117,794 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a score of 89.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a good margin of safety. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 149 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown point was located 326 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a relatively light wind of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance.
The total landing distance was 1,711 meters, which is 64% of the available runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft's descent and speed. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown point and speed, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
