MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 4.1°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,986 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,986 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,025 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 14R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,440 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 170°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,853 feet above sea level to 37,760 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,907 feet. The distance covered during this period was 166 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of Berantevilla, Spain. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 472 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Flers-sur-Noye, France. The descent took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,844 feet above sea level to 9,988 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,857 feet. The distance covered during this period was 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Aalst, Belgium. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Merchtem, Belgium. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 9,918 feet above sea level to 2,022 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,896 feet. The distance covered during this period was 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Zichem, Belgium. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, which was located to the east. The aircraft was heading at 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,435 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 609 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,905 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 801 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes. The aircraft used 16,977 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,435 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 136 knots.
The touchdown point was located 609 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute (fpm), which is a typical value for a commercial airliner. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 15 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The aircraft's ability to handle the wind conditions was evident in the smooth rollout and alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance was 1,905 meters, which accounts for 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down at a safe speed and distance from the runway threshold. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled landing, despite the slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point.
