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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.6 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.6 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 569 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 08R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii. The takeoff distance was 1,566 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 187 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 79°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from Honolulu, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 32,128 feet above sea level. The climb from 1,050 feet to 32,128 feet took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 110 miles southwest of SB35, a location in Honolulu, and lasted for 91 minutes, covering a distance of 703 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 32,168 feet to 34,045 feet, which took 2 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a new location, lasting for 210 minutes and covering 1,697 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing from 33,902 feet to 35,896 feet in 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, lasting for 213 minutes and covering 1,744 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, which started 41 miles southeast of Smiths Lake in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The descent from 35,971 feet to 1,257 feet took 24 minutes and covered 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was made from the north, heading 168.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 20°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 110°.
The total landing distance was 1,262 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 4 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 4,418 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 573 minutes. The aircraft used 77,429 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16L. The final approach was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 110°.
The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, resulting in a net headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance of 1,262 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and maintaining a stable alignment with the runway. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases.
