MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 3.1°.
What happened: The wings held 3.1° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 1.9° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,944 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,944 m of the 3,768 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 698 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 16R, utilizing 58% of the 2,235-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 186 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 99°.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Kyeemagh, increasing its altitude from 1,045 feet to 31,444 feet over a distance of 126 nautical miles in 19 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 172 minutes and covered 1,486 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise was repeated several times, with the aircraft climbing to higher altitudes and then leveling off to maintain a steady speed. The final climb phase began 7 miles west of Batuna Aerodrome in the Solomon Islands, where the aircraft increased its altitude from 32,557 feet to 34,277 feet in just 2 minutes.
After completing its enroute climb phases, the aircraft began its descent into Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, where it landed on runway 07R. The final approach was made from the west, with the aircraft touching down 287 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,868 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,604 nautical miles, which was completed in 822 minutes, using 115,928 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 07R at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach. The aircraft's descent from 1,278 ft agl to the threshold height of 62 ft agl was slightly above target, but the crew maintained control throughout the final stages of the approach. The threshold speed of 147 kt was also slightly above the target, but the touchdown speed of 136 kt, although a little fast, was still within manageable limits.
The touchdown point was located 287 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the 7 kt crosswind component. However, the crew's handling of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases was commendable, and the touchdown rate of -257 fpm was fair. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -6 °C and a 7 kt wind at 20 °, presented a challenging environment for the crew.
The aircraft's rollout was notable for its excellent alignment, with the Boeing 777-300 staying on course throughout the 1,868 m total landing distance, which accounted for 50% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 90.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the crew's performance was impressive, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well within acceptable limits.
