MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 9.2 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 9.2 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 9.2 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 1,656 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,656 m of the 4,008 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 744 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 16C at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,591 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Normandy Park, Washington, and reached an altitude of 33,348 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,969 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Quincy Flying Service Airport in Washington and lasted 56 minutes, covering a distance of 470 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 18 miles north of Dubois Municipal Airport in Wyoming and reached an altitude of 35,764 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,996 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 17 miles east of Dubois and lasted 197 minutes, covering a distance of 1,644 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 6 miles south of Lemon Grove, Florida, and reached an altitude of 38,390 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,072 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Last Chance Ranch Airport in Florida and lasted 147 minutes, covering a distance of 1,225 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started overhead Dos Mosquises Airport in Venezuela and reached an altitude of 40,251 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,258 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south of Dos Mosquises Airport and lasted 286 minutes, covering a distance of 2,374 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 6 miles south of Sao Joao del Rei, Brazil, and descended from 39,778 feet above sea level to 1,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,476 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport was from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 322 meters beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 117 knots, and a touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 6,003 nautical miles, taking a total of 752 minutes, and the aircraft used 88,146 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with a score of 93.6%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 123 knots. The touchdown point was located 322 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,569 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path along the runway. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
