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 4.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 10 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 10 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 10 ft to touchdown.
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 1,634 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,634 m of the 2,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 596 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Boeing 777F aircraft took off from runway 25L at OPKC Jinnah International Airport in Pakistan, with a takeoff distance of 1,825 meters, which made up 54% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots, and the aircraft took off into local weather conditions of 31 degrees Celsius with a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started from 1 mile north of OPSF Faisal Air Base Karachi, with an initial ascent from 1,089 feet above sea level to 6,747 feet. The climb lasted for 4 minutes and covered 17 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase that lasted for 2 minutes, during which it covered 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its climb from 10 miles north of Mirpur Sakro in Sindh, Pakistan, to an altitude of 28,880 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,120 feet over an 18-minute period and covering 131 nautical miles.
There were multiple enroute level cruise phases and climbs that took place as the aircraft flew across different countries, including India and Indonesia. The first level cruise phase started 6 miles south of VABU Bhuj Airport Bhuj in the State of Gujarat, India, and lasted 93 minutes, covering 745 nautical miles.
Following a climb from the vicinity of Kadiri in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase that lasted 202 minutes, covering 1,634 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it climbed from a location 31 miles southwest of WAMR Padang Pagai Airstrip Mandarahan in Indonesia to an altitude of 32,839 feet. The final enroute level cruise phase lasted 139 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,171 nautical miles.
The last notable climb occurred from a location with coordinates Latitude: -14.7889175 and Longitude: 116.3092641, from which the aircraft reached an altitude of 35,037 feet. Following this, the aircraft entered a final level cruise phase that lasted 216 minutes, covering 2,078 nautical miles.
Upon approaching its destination, Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in Australia, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 34,801 feet after passing 11 miles west of Bigga in the State of New South Wales. The descent took 25 minutes to complete, covering 113 nautical miles and decreasing in altitude by 33,499 feet to 1,302 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 16L at the airport was done from the north, and the aircraft landed successfully at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing distance covered 72% of the 2,173-meter runway length.
The aircraft touched down 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 142 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment after landing was perfect.
The total flight distance was 5,983 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 722 minutes. The aircraft burned a total of 105,451 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16L, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a threshold height slightly above the target but still within acceptable limits. The threshold speed was good at 146 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown point was 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 142 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,558 meters was 72% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 777F aircraft demonstrated excellent landing performance at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The combination of good approach and landing speeds, smooth touchdown rate, and perfect runway rollout alignment made for a safe and controlled landing.
