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 7.2 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 once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 496 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 140 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 1,923 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,923 m of the 2,822 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight, operated on a Boeing 777-300 aircraft, began its journey from the parking bay at Indira Gandhi International Airport, also known as VIDP. Taxiing to the runway took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm).
Upon departure, the aircraft rolled down runway 28 and took off at a speed of 186 knots (kt). The takeoff distance of 2,254 meters accounted for 59% of the runway. Weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius (°C), wind speed of 6 kt from 259°, with a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The initial climbing segment occurred 1 mile west of VIDP, where the aircraft ascended from an elevation of 1,756 feet above sea level (asl) to 8,675 ft asl. This 6,919 ft increase in altitude took place in 3 minutes and spanned a distance of 13 nm.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise. The first level cruise segment started 6 miles southwest of Bahadurgarh, lasting for 2 minutes while covering 7 nm. The second climbing segment began 3 miles northeast of Jhajjar, during which the aircraft climbed from 9,248 ft asl to 35,434 ft asl, resulting in a 26,186 ft gain in 16 minutes and a 120 nm distance.
The aircraft then engaged in a prolonged level cruise segment for 140 minutes, spanning a distance of 1,048 nm. This segment began 14 miles north of Rania.
Further enroute climbs took place 34 miles northeast of UT55 LDS Hospital Heliport Salt Lake City, covering a 2,083 ft increase in 3 minutes and a 25 nm distance, and then climbing from 36,764 ft asl to 38,300 ft asl in 2 minutes, spanning 13 nm. Another enroute cruise segment followed 2 miles east of Mitreni, lasting 110 minutes and covering 843 nm.
A significant descent initiated 3 miles northeast of EDDJ Oeventrop Airfield Arnsberg. The aircraft descended from 38,084 ft asl to 1,271 ft asl, resulting in a decrease of 36,813 ft in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nm.
As the flight neared its conclusion, a final approach preparation was initiated at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, where the aircraft began its descent from the south, heading 3.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level (agl).
The aircraft eventually landed on runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, experiencing challenging conditions with a temperature of 15 °C, wind speed of 19 kt from 320°, a crosswind of 13 kt, and a headwind of 14 kt. The touchdown point was found to be 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt.
After touchdown, the aircraft experienced a firm touchdown rate of -371 ft per minute (fpm). Runway roll-out alignment was also found to be misaligned by 21.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,843 meters accounted for 65% of the runway.
Following a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm, the flight concluded. The total distance covered during the flight was 3,569 nm, with a total flight time of 506 minutes and fuel consumption of 62,420 kilograms (kg).
The Boeing 777-300 has successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol's runway 36R, despite some room for improvement in the execution of the landing. The aircraft's final approach began from the south, heading 3.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the airport. The aircraft maintained a steady speed of approximately 144 knots on final approach, exceeding the threshold speed requirement, thus ensuring a smooth landing.
As the aircraft began its descent, its height was slightly above the target threshold of 62 feet agl. This deviation was likely due to the pilot's adjustments to maintain a suitable airspeed for a stable descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft registered a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the desired rate but did not compromise the safety of the landing. However, a firmer touchdown rate of -371 feet per minute could have contributed to a more controlled rollout.
A notable aspect of this landing was the misaligned runway touchdown position, with the aircraft deviating by 18.9 meters from the centreline. This misalignment occurred despite the aircraft having sufficient control to maintain a steady speed on final approach. Local weather conditions may have played a role in this aspect, with a headwind of 14 knots at the time of landing, potentially affecting the aircraft's directional stability.
Additionally, the aircraft's rollout alignment after touchdown was also misaligned, departing from the centreline by 21.0 meters. This further highlights the aircraft's deviation from the ideal landing trajectory, possibly due to the combined effects of wind and the pilot's response to the headwind.
In terms of overall performance, the aircraft landed a total distance of 1,843 meters, covering 65 percent of the available runway length of 2,822 meters at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Considering the weather conditions, including a gentle headwind and moderate crosswind components, the pilot's performance was satisfactory, albeit with room for improvement in maintaining a perfectly aligned touchdown and subsequent rollout.
