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 556 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 74 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 74 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 806 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,828 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,828 m of the 2,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 806 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Los Angeles International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, 25R, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,414 meters, or 39% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 185 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Los Angeles, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 1,109 feet above sea level to 32,992 feet, an increase of 31,883 feet, over a distance of 153 nautical miles in 21 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 32,992 feet for 182 minutes, covering a distance of 1,600 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise phases was repeated several times, with the aircraft climbing to higher altitudes and then leveling off to maintain a steady speed. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 32,994 feet to 34,990 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles, and later from 35,419 feet to 36,959 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Charles de Gaulle International Airport, it began its descent phase, descending from 36,990 feet to 1,716 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,275 feet, over a distance of 138 nautical miles in 26 minutes. The final approach to runway 09L was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 85.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,359 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,754 meters, or 65% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,062 nautical miles, taking 611 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 83,160 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, with a threshold height of 75 ft agl, significantly above the target. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 145 kt, meeting the desired standard. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt, albeit a little faster than the target. The touchdown rate was firm, at -314 fpm, indicating a controlled impact.
The touchdown point was located 397 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.4 m from the centreline, which was also reflected in the rollout phase. The aircraft's centreline alignment during rollout was slightly off, by 10.1 m, although this was a minor deviation. The total landing distance of 1,754 m was 65% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 16 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 kt, while the headwind component was negligible, at 1 kt. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 82.3%, indicating a good standard of execution.
