MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 452 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Begin the flare with firm, progressive back pressure, raising the nose further through the flare band and holding it until touchdown.
What happened: The nose was raised only 0.8° and little of the sink was taken out, so the aircraft was flown onto the runway; an under-flare like this usually carries through into a hard touchdown, as this one did at 1.4 g.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, progressive reduction in sink through the normal flare band.
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 six 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 1,581 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,581 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 277 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.45 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The B772 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD, a movement that required 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 36L, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,976 m (46 % of the runway) and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 74°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
The initial climb began 2 miles south-east of San Sebastian de los Reyes, climbing from 2,958 ft asl to 34,014 ft asl - an increase of 31,057 ft - over 18 minutes while covering 121 nm.
Level cruise commenced 2 miles south of Banares and lasted 26 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 195 nm.
A second climb started 63 miles south-west of Saint-Clement-des-Baleines, raising altitude from 34,010 ft asl to 37,812 ft asl, a gain of 3,802 ft in 3 minutes and covering 25 nm.
The next cruise segment began 40 miles south of LFEY Île d'Yeu Airport, lasting 29 minutes and spanning 226 nm.
Descent phase one originated 7 miles north of Urville-Nacqueville, descending from 38,004 ft asl to 5,003 ft asl - a loss of 33,001 ft - in 18 minutes and covering 113 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mile south-west of Ascot, lasting 2 minutes and adding 5 nm to the flight path.
Descent phase two began 1 mile south-east of Hurst, dropping from 4,859 ft asl to 2,498 ft asl, a decrease of 2,361 ft over 3 minutes while covering 9 nm.
The aircraft then entered a short cruise overhead Hurst, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
Descent phase three started 1 mile south-east of White Waltham, descending from 2,499 ft asl to 1,365 ft asl - a loss of 1,134
The 777-200LR approached runway 24 at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and earned a stabilisation-gate score. The aircraft descended from 1,300 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 93 seconds before final approach.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 149 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the touchdown point was 233 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 141 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -268 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.4 m from the centreline.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft 233 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, at 141 kt and a vertical rate of -268 fpm, while the centreline deviation measured 11.4 m.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,588 m, representing 48 % of the 3,287 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 m from the centreline. Local weather was 32 °C with a 1 kt wind from 144°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
The score of 91.0 % reflects a solid performance; focus on reducing the touchdown point offset and improving centreline alignment to bring the landing closer to the aim point and maintain tighter lateral control. Maintaining the target touchdown speed nearer to the threshold speed will also help tighten the touchdown zone placement.
