MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 13° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 8.4 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.4 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
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 2,605 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,605 m of the 3,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 794 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Heathrow Airport, the Boeing 777-300 began its takeoff roll on runway 09R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 198 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold at 2,471 meters, utilizing 74% of the available length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt from 190 °.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 1,101 ft above sea level to 6,065 ft, a gain of 4,964 ft in just 3 minutes. This initial climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 24 nm. The aircraft then initiated a second climb phase, this time from 6,400 ft to 32,369 ft, a significant increase of 25,969 ft in 14 minutes. The majority of the flight was spent in a prolonged level cruise, lasting 184 minutes and covering 1,463 nm. The aircraft made several additional climb and descent phases, with the final descent initiated 2 miles north west of Sai Kung, Hong Kong. The aircraft touched down on runway 25C at Hong Kong International Airport, with a total landing distance of 2,485 meters, 72% of the available runway length.
The flight's performance was notable, with a total distance of 5,944 nm covered in 717 minutes. Fuel consumption was 87,960 kg, a significant amount for the duration of the flight. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 138 kt, slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown rate of -200 fpm. Runway rollout alignment was, however, excessively misaligned by 62.1 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 22 °C and a moderate wind of 10 kt from 100 °.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 25C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, with a threshold height significantly above the target of 90 ft agl. Despite this, the threshold speed was good at 140 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a touchdown speed of 138 kt, which was a little fast, but not excessively so. The touchdown rate of -200 fpm was fair, suggesting a controlled and stable touchdown.
The touchdown point was 338 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, was not excessively far off. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a wind of 10 kt at 100 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component of 5 kt and the tailwind component of 9 kt were manageable, and did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,485 m was 72% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 62.1 m from the centreline, which was a notable deviation. Overall, the landing scored 74.8%, reflecting a good but not outstanding performance.
