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 62 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 92 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 92 ft, 47 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 6,857 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,857 ft of the 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,149 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 08R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,029 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 197 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 53°F and winds of 6 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,155 feet above sea level to 35,930 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,775 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead 47TS Hensarling Airport Madisonville, and it lasted for 85 minutes, covering a distance of 502 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles southeast of KCAW Capitan Airport Capitan, descending from 36,227 feet above sea level to 6,613 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,614 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 45.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03, which had a length of 9,991 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots. However, the touchdown point was 790 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 43°F and winds of 4 knots at 180°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,597 feet, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 676 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 134 minutes. The aircraft used 36,183 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at the Albuquerque International Sunport, achieving a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 139 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was located 790 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 24 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 43°F and winds of 4 knots from 180°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 3 knots, which was not significant enough to affect the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,597 feet was 66% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient room to stop safely. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 41 feet, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the initial touchdown position.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed. The pilots may have been able to improve their performance with more precise control and attention to the aircraft's speed and position during the final approach.
