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 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,830 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,467 ft 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 21 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 05R at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX) in Ciudad de México, Mexico. The takeoff distance was 6,450 feet, which was 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 71°F and winds of 4 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and reached an altitude of 34,946 feet above sea level (asl) in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Tulcingo de Valle in the state of Puebla, Mexico. This phase lasted for 114 minutes and covered a distance of 951 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 35,090 feet asl to 36,824 feet asl, an increase of 1,735 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and locations, including a level cruise phase that started 8 miles southwest of MRGP Guapiles Airport in Costa Rica and lasted for 204 minutes, covering a distance of 1,600 nautical miles. Another climb phase started 46 miles northwest of SBPV Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport in Brazil and reached an altitude of 38,957 feet asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began a descent phase, which started 4 miles west of SIZG Fazenda Encontro das Águas Airport in Brazil. The descent from 38,631 feet asl to 13,991 feet asl took 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south of Amparo in Brazil and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final descent phase started 2 miles southwest of Extrema in Brazil and took 12 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, which was located to the west. The approach was made at a heading of 74.0° and at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 10R was made at a speed of 134 knots, which was within the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown point was 1,116 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was also within the target. The touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 61 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 4,402 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 67 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,082 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 545 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 132,126 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10R, which has a length of 9,830 feet.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was good at 134 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 1,116 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute (fpm), which may have contributed to the aircraft's misaligned landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 61 feet from the centreline, which could have been caused by the hard touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, with 4 knots and 1 knot, respectively. The total landing distance was 4,402 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been influenced by the hard touchdown rate and misaligned landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was misaligned by 67 feet from the centreline, which is consistent with the initial touchdown misalignment. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal parameters, which may require further analysis and improvement to optimize the aircraft's performance.
