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 17 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08R at Leipzig/Halle Airport, with the aircraft taking off after a distance of 989 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed out of Leipzig/Halle Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 9,537 feet above sea level. This climb was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles and an increase of 7,809 feet in altitude. The climb started overhead the airport, located in Schkeuditz, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Wiedemar, Saxony, Germany. The descent from 10,018 feet to 3,994 feet above sea level was accomplished in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles and a decrease of 6,024 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southeast of Teutschenthal, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. This cruise lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 3,990 feet to 2,987 feet above sea level, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles and a decrease of 1,003 feet in altitude. This descent started 1 mile northeast of Roetha, Saxony, Germany.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. This cruise lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Leipzig/Halle Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,536 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 26R, which had a length of 3,590 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 162 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 282 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 164 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -813 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius.
The total flight distance was 64 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 6,165 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Boeing 747-400 (B742), successfully landed at Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP) with a score of 90.4%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,536 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 26R, which has a length of 3,590 meters, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 162 knots. This may indicate that the aircraft was slightly overpowered or that the pilots were taking a more cautious approach to ensure a safe landing.
The touchdown distance of 282 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 164 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy, at -813 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent, which could be due to a variety of factors such as a high approach speed or a steep angle of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 5.3 meters. This may indicate that the pilots were not perfectly aligned with the runway during the final approach, or that there was some issue with the aircraft's navigation or control systems.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C. This relatively cold temperature may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics, particularly in terms of its climb and descent rates.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of the touchdown rate and runway alignment.
