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 1.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 357 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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 5,385 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,385 ft of the 10,511 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,074 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 07L at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC). The takeoff distance was 4,101 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 159°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Lake Hood Anchorage (LHD), ascending from an altitude of 1,112 feet above sea level to 32,248 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,136 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles northwest of Johnstone Point Airport (PAJO) and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 32,448 feet to 34,147 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,700 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 42 miles south of Icy Bay Airport (19AK) and lasted for 197 minutes, covering a distance of 1,522 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 9 miles east of Dorrington (California) and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The descent was from an altitude of 35,261 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,957 feet.
The final approach to runway 30 at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) was made from the southeast, heading 310.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30, which had a length of 10,511 feet. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 727 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 5,138 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,887 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 278 minutes. The aircraft used 75,277 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 310.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 144 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 727 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 279°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 5,138 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilot's performance was good, and the aircraft's systems functioned as expected. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise touchdown position and a more gradual descent rate.
