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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 152 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 77 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 488 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 152 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,697 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 399 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Keflavik International Airport (BIKF), the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. With a takeoff roll on runway 10, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 184 knots, utilizing 65% of the 1,995-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 4°C, with a gentle wind of 6 knots at 47°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it first ascended from 1,074 feet above sea level to 32,960 feet, an increase of 31,885 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 19 miles southeast of Álftaver Airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 494 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second climb phase, this time from 32,967 feet to 34,507 feet, an increase of 1,540 feet in 2 minutes, covering 117 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase lasted 22 minutes, covering 1,437 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease from 34,986 feet to 1,590 feet, a decrease of 33,396 feet in 21 minutes, covering 120 nautical miles.
Upon approaching runway 03R at LGAV, the aircraft executed a final approach from the southwest, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 402 meters and a touchdown speed of 154 knots, although slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The aircraft's touchdown rate was high at -526 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. Following a taxiing period of 6 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 2,297 nautical miles, utilizing 39,355 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold speed of 150 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 402 m was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare.
However, the touchdown speed of 154 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -526 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown, which could have been mitigated with a more precise flare. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 12.2 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a headwind of 24 kt, may have also played a role in the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,135 m was 33% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.8%. While there were some areas for improvement, the crew demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
