MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 21 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 21 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 21 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,022 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,022 m of the 4,104 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 556 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777F taxiing from the parking area to the runway at King Khaled International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 33R, with a takeoff distance of 1,105 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 50 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 3,021 feet above sea level, reaching a maximum altitude of 34,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,972 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 53 miles north of Pump Station 3 Airport Wasea and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 286 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 27 miles northwest of Das Island Airport Das Island, where the aircraft descended from a height of 34,718 feet above sea level to 3,071 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,647 feet in 24 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 138 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles north of Abu Dhabi and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 5 miles north of KIZAD Airport Abu Dhabi, where the aircraft descended from a height of 2,634 feet above sea level to 1,361 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,273 feet in just 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13R at Zayed International Airport, heading in a northeasterly direction at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13R was successful, with a touchdown point located 138 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 90 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,939 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 529 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,052 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a score of 91.9%. The final approach to runway 13R was initiated from the northwest, with a heading of 128.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 138 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,939 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown.
