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 5.4 m 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.
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 1,824 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,824 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, the Boeing 777-300 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 06, covering 55% of the 3,360-meter runway in 1,861 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 184 knots, with a local temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a negligible headwind of 0 knots. The wind direction was 150 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Manila, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 32,999 feet in 23 minutes and covering 160 nautical miles. The crew then established a level cruise, which lasted for 286 minutes and spanned 2,541 nautical miles. The aircraft made several subsequent climbs, each time increasing its altitude by a few thousand feet, before resuming level cruise. The final descent began 90 miles southwest of Anchor Bay in California, with the aircraft descending from 36,994 feet to 1,346 feet in 29 minutes and covering 156 nautical miles.
The Boeing 777-300 then initiated its final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport, touching down on the 3,516-meter runway at a speed of 135 knots. The touchdown distance was 451 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,193 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 717 minutes and a fuel consumption of 96,142 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and speed of 141 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 135 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 451 m was also within the expected parameters, indicating a well-executed landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's rate of descent was slightly higher than ideal at -244 fpm, but still within the acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The Boeing 777-300 rolled out on the runway with excellent alignment, covering a total distance of 1,744 m, which was 50% of the runway length. The landing was deemed a success, with a final score of 98.1%. The crew's ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown, despite the slight misalignment, was a testament to their skill and experience.
