MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 16 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 16 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 16 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 1,948 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,948 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 788 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed Auckland International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway 05R took 9 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll, utilizing 66% of the 2,163-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 185 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a 19-knot headwind and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it ascended from 1,025 feet above sea level to 31,549 feet, a vertical increase of 30,524 feet in 22 minutes, covering 156 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining altitudes of 32,533 feet, 34,150 feet, 36,160 feet, and 38,222 feet, respectively. The longest level cruise segment lasted 632 minutes, covering 1,630 nautical miles. The aircraft's fuel consumption during the flight totaled 120,915 kilograms.
As the Boeing 777-300 approached its destination, Miami International Airport, it began its descent from 38,234 feet above sea level to 3,089 feet, a vertical decrease of 35,144 feet in 25 minutes, covering 145 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08R was executed from the west, with the aircraft touching down 379 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 knots. The total landing distance was 1,874 meters, or 59% of the 3,194-meter runway. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, concluding a flight that spanned 7,064 nautical miles and lasted 865 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 08R at KMIA Miami International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, despite the threshold height being above the target at 60 ft agl. The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 142 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 379 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 kt, which was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with an excellent touchdown rate of -64 fpm, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a 9 kt headwind, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, further contributing to a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,874 m was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centerline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 91.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
