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 8.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 657 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii. The takeoff distance was 1,117 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 34°C temperature and a wind speed of 20 knots at 50°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 20 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport and reached an altitude of 40,120 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,059 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 172 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 91 minutes and covered 715 nautical miles. The cruise phase started at a latitude of 22.6558125 and a longitude of -155.1325155. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 40,614 feet to 41,773 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,159 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 124 minutes and covered 1,056 nautical miles. This phase started at a latitude of 29.0566579 and a longitude of -143.6040069. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started at a latitude of 36.3320924 and a longitude of -124.5228113. The descent was from 42,223 feet to 8,311 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,912 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent phase. This descent started 5 miles northwest of La Honda, California, and was from 8,304 feet to 1,774 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,530 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was from the southeast, heading 300.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,749 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 683 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 28R, which had a length of 3,516 meters. The threshold height was above the target at 62 feet above ground level, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 236 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,432 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,104 nautical miles, taking 310 minutes, and the aircraft used 34,563 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 300.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,749 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but with a few notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
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. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was moving at a slightly faster pace than intended when reaching the threshold. These deviations may have contributed to the subsequent landing parameters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. This may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm), which is slightly steeper than the ideal rate. Furthermore, the touchdown point was 236 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than desired.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline, which may have affected the subsequent rollout alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 15 knots from 300°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,432 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the runway length of 3,516 meters. However, the rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position.
Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters. The aircraft's speed and touchdown rate were slightly above target, and the touchdown point and rollout alignment were slightly misaligned. However, the landing distance was relatively short, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
