MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 15 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.7°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 98 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 98 ft, 53 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,297 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,297 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,455 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 187 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Kyeemagh, and climbed from 1,013 feet above sea level to 32,069 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,056 feet, in 25 minutes and covering 162 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 44 miles south east of North Haven, and lasted for 180 minutes, covering 1,580 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 32,352 feet above sea level to 34,433 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,080 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started at a latitude of -10.1828746 and a longitude of 170.3487946, and lasted for 169 minutes, covering 1,419 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,348 feet above sea level to 36,423 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,075 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started at a latitude of 10.9932732 and a longitude of -177.9538291, and lasted for 208 minutes, covering 1,777 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,762 feet above sea level to 36,548 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,786 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise that followed started at a latitude of 31.6082726 and a longitude of -154.4652597, and lasted for 514 minutes, covering 1,562 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 47 miles west of Moss Beach, and descended from 37,531 feet above sea level to 1,822 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,708 feet, in 15 minutes and covering 59 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the south east, heading 297.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,781 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28R, which had a length of 3,516 meters, was characterized by a threshold height that was slightly above target, and a threshold speed that was also slightly above target at 153 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 386 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 147 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -546 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,644 nautical miles, taking 794 minutes, and the aircraft used 114,489 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) with a score of 92.4%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 297.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,781 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a touchdown distance of 386 meters, which is considered good.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 153 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 147 knots. The touchdown rate was particularly hard at -546 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C. The total landing distance of 2,223 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
One area for improvement was the runway rollout alignment, which was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed or the pilot's response to the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are opportunities for improvement to achieve a higher score.
