MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 88 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 88 ft, 43 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,608 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,608 m of the 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,092 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 2,545 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 184 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. After a successful takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles northeast of the airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,502 feet above sea level to 29,586 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 473 minutes and covered a distance of 3,886 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 7 miles northwest of Artur Nogueira, also in São Paulo, Brazil. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles north of Totoltepec, Mexico. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,185 feet to 8,607 feet.
The final approach to runway 23L at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport in Mexico City was made from the northeast, with a heading of 239.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway at this point. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,441 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target speed at 159 knots.
The touchdown point was 692 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 153 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute was also satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,543 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,025 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 513 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 69,282 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Benito Juárez International Airport, specifically on runway 23L. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 159 kt, significantly above the target threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a safe speed during the landing. The touchdown point was located 692 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 153 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,543 meters was 74% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was excellent, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path along the centerline. This indicates that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's direction and was able to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
