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 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 50 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 50 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 50 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,774 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,774 m of the 3,029 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 768 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 30 at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,495 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 219°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of South Riding, Virginia. The climb started from an altitude of 1,279 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 34,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,443 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 171 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles south-east of Bordentown, New Jersey, and lasted for 85 minutes, covering a distance of 834 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb 66 miles south-west of Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon. This climb was shorter, increasing the altitude by 1,139 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 49 miles south-west of Saint-Pierre and lasted for 262 minutes, covering a distance of 2,330 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its climb, this time from 37,000 feet above sea level to 38,870 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,870 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile north of Bray-Dunes, Hauts-de-France, France. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Izegem, Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 202 minutes, covering a distance of 1,632 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 57 miles south of Kouklia, Paphos District, Cyprus. The descent started from an altitude of 39,000 feet above sea level and reached a final altitude of 1,501 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,499 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 170 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport was made from the north-west, heading 120.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,368 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 0°.
The total landing distance was 1,692 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 5,190 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 615 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 66,216 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) on runway 12. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 120.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,368 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 351 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation was not significant enough to raise concerns. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and no wind. This lack of wind meant that the aircraft did not experience any crosswind or headwind, making the landing even more stable and controlled. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and that the pilot had maintained a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,692 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had maintained a good approach speed and had made a smooth touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft had maintained its alignment with the runway even after touchdown and had rolled out smoothly.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200ER at Ben Gurion International Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 91.3%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
