MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 174 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 192 kt against a rotation target of 174 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 174 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,884 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,884 m of the 3,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 690 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 192 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,891 m, which represented 52 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 21 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 219°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 mile south-west of SeaTac, climbing from 1,307 ft asl to 30,909 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,602 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 114 nm.
Level cruise commenced 8 miles east of Concrete and continued for 46 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 416 nm.
A second climb was initiated 21 miles west of Swan Hills Airport, raising the altitude from 31,032 ft asl to 32,948 ft asl, a gain of 1,916 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 15 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment started 12 miles west of Swan Hills, lasting 246 minutes and encompassing 2,062 nm of flight.
A third climb began at latitude 69.7115303, longitude -42.985768, increasing altitude from 33,000 ft asl to 35,063 ft asl, a rise of 2,063 ft in 3 minutes while covering 27 nm.
The following cruise phase started at latitude 69.6247405, longitude -41.6654032 and persisted for 229 minutes, during which 1,925 nm were flown.
Descent number one started 3 miles east of Mulfingen, Germany, descending from 34,687 ft asl to 7,542 ft asl, a loss of 27,144 ft in 15 minutes and covering 102 nm.
A brief level segment followed 1 mile south-east of Wang, Bavaria, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
Descent number two commenced 1 mile east of Vilsheim, Bavaria, dropping from 6,954 ft asl to 2,739 ft asl, a decrease of 4,215 ft in 5 minutes over 13 nm.
The final approach to runway 26R at Munich Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,260 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26R, which is 3,989 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 150 kt; touchdown occurred 283 m beyond the touchdown zone at 143 kt and a vertical rate of minus 123 fpm, with alignment described as very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 8 °C, wind 2 kt from 0°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,812 m, representing 45 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 4,692 nm, required 575 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 78,018 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,260 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 8 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 0°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 150 kt. The flare was executed in line with the expected parameters for a Boeing 777-300 on this runway.
Touchdown occurred 283 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 143 kt, noted as a little fast, and a smooth descent rate of minus 123 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,812 m, representing 45 % of the 3,989 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 97.1 % the landing was strong; refining speed control to reduce the touchdown speed closer to the 150 kt target and aiming to touch down nearer the intended aim point will tighten performance further.
