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 4.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 114 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 170 fpm.
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 2,800 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,800 m of the 4,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,003 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777F taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10L, with a takeoff distance of 1,970 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 70 degrees.
The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot. As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Schiller Park, Illinois, and continued to ascend from an altitude of 1,716 feet above sea level to 35,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,272 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles south-east of Le Roy Airport, Illinois, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 473 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 11 miles north of Rattan, Oklahoma, and descended from 35,871 feet above sea level to 1,567 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,303 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, heading 181.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 999 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 4,095 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 586 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -179 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,718 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 711 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 108 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,715 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on runway 18R, achieving a score of 87.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 999 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 knots. The touchdown point was 586 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired range.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center by 9.1 meters. These deviations are relatively minor and do not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 2,718 meters was 66% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance.
