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 8 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 10 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 10 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 10 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 2,302 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,302 m of the 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 32R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,136 meters, which accounted for 83% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 295°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles north east of Funza, Departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 9,375 feet above sea level to 36,882 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,507 feet. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Marmato, Departamento de Caldas, Colombia, and lasting for 189 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,501 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles east of Cosoltepec, Estado de Oaxaca, Mexico, and took 12 minutes to descend from 37,144 feet above sea level to 17,523 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,621 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north east of Cuautla, Estado de Morelos, Mexico, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The final descent started overhead Cuernavaca, Estado de Morelos, Mexico, and took 10 minutes to descend from 17,539 feet above sea level to 8,623 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,916 feet.
The final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was made from the south west, heading 59.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05R, which had a length of 3,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -168 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,229 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,734 nautical miles, taking a total of 246 minutes, and the aircraft used 28,892 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX) on runway 05R. The final approach was executed from the southwest, heading 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.0%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 198 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is considered acceptable. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 141 knots. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which contributed to a smooth landing. The runway length of 3,441 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 2,229 meters, which accounted for 65% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The rollout alignment after landing was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the aircraft demonstrating a strong proficiency in its approach and landing phases.
