MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 4.5 ft, 6.7 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,810 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,810 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 1,138 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 109 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,341 feet above sea level to 35,587 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,246 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 6 miles west of Alcains, a location in the Distrito da Guarda, Portugal. This cruise phase lasted for 98 minutes and covered a distance of 795 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Celles, a location in Wallonia, Belgium. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 35,399 feet above sea level to 1,263 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,137 feet. The final approach to runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 267.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 144 knots. The touchdown distance was 374 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -276 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 320 degrees.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,013 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 149 minutes. The aircraft used 17,694 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, which may have resulted in a slightly faster touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but it could be improved upon in future landings. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was 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 1°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were successfully managed.
The total landing distance of 1,731 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the final approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate.
