MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 91 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 91 ft, 46 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,148 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,148 ft of the 13,140 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,326 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight took place on board a Boeing 777-300, an aircraft known for its high efficiency and long-range capabilities. As the plane prepared for departure, it taxied from the parking area to the runway for 26 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The runway in question was 34L at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC), where the plane departed after a 4,796-foot takeoff roll that accounted for 40 percent of the runway.
The takeoff was carried out in optimal conditions, with a headwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 3 knots. The plane lifted off at a speed of 167 knots and reached a height of 37,321 feet within 17 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The climate during the takeoff was pleasant, with a temperature of 53 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once in the air, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise at 17 miles south west of Deseret, Utah. During this cruise phase, the plane flew for 152 minutes and covered an impressive 1,116 nautical miles. The crew made several adjustments to their flight plan, including a descent from 37,170 feet to 24,582 feet over the Mexican cities of San Andres Cohamiata and Chimaltitan.
There were several short enroute level cruises, the longest one lasting 10 minutes and covering 44 nautical miles. After crossing into the Mexican state of Zacatecas, the flight continued westward, navigating around mountains and valleys, eventually entering the descent phase over Santa Cruz de las Flores, before making a final approach to Guadalajara International Airport.
The landing on runway 11 at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport was accomplished at a moderate speed of 140 knots, with the threshold height being slightly above the target. The touchdown point was 995 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the speed at which the plane touched down was a little fast, at 137 knots. Nevertheless, the plane maintained a steady rollout and came to a stop within 6,917 feet of the runway threshold, or just 53 percent of the runway's length.
Following the landing, the plane taxied to the parking area for 4 minutes and covered less than a nautical mile, ultimately completing its journey and covering a grand total of 1,388 nautical miles. The total flight duration was 216 minutes, and the Boeing 777-300 consumed an estimated 57,276 pounds of fuel throughout the journey.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 114.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 995 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was zero. The total landing distance of 6,917 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the landing, resulting in a score of 90.2%.
