MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 10 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 10 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 10 ft to touchdown.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,579 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,579 m of the 3,811 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 851 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F aircraft took off from runway 32L at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport, located in Seattle, Washington. On departure roll, the plane lifted off the ground at a speed of 182 kt, and took 1,849 meters or 67% of the runway to achieve lift-off. The local climate at the time of departure was characterized by a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 2 kt at 159°, and a tailwind of 2 kt.
Once clear of the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport. The climb took 20 minutes to reach an altitude of 31,393 ft, a total increase of 30,335 ft, and a distance of 131 nm. After reaching the desired altitude, the plane entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 200 minutes and covered a distance of 1,673 nm.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another climb phase 9 miles east of MMGZ San Martín de Bolaños Airstrip, located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. This climb took only 3 minutes to achieve an altitude increase of 1,990 ft, resulting in a new altitude of 33,168 ft. The enroute cruise then began again 3 miles west of San Cristobal de la Barranca, lasting for 149 minutes and covering a distance of 1,205 nm.
The aircraft's climb phase was repeated several times, with the plane climbing from 32,965 ft to 35,011 ft in 2 minutes, and then entering a level cruise phase that lasted for 305 minutes and covered a distance of 2,453 nm. The final climb phase took place 7 miles east of SCCB Pedro Villarroel C. Airport, Combarbala, Chile, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,035 ft to 2,885 ft in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nm.
The final approach to runway 17R at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport was made from the north, heading 178.0 ° at an altitude of 4 nm and 1,323 ft above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown speed of 138 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -133 fpm. The landing distance was 1,501 meters, which was 39% of the runway.
The local climate at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 4 kt at 171°, and a headwind of 4 kt. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the taxiing to the parking from the runway taking only 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm.
In conclusion, the Boeing 777F aircraft completed a total flight distance of 5,638 nm, utilizing 713 minutes of flight time and consuming 39,101 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport on runway 17R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 138 knots.
The touchdown point was located 438 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 171°. There was no crosswind component, which made the landing even smoother. The total landing distance was 1,501 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilot executed the landing smoothly.
After touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
