MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 17 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 91 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 91 ft, 46 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 5,055 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,055 ft of the 10,511 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,448 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777F taxiing from the parking area to the runway at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 04R, with a takeoff distance of 4,140 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 183 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 81 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,052 feet above sea level to 31,154 feet, an increase of 30,102 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 41 miles northeast of 18HI Brandt Field Port Saint Joe, lasting 20 minutes and covering 132 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 31,534 feet to 33,141 feet, an increase of 1,606 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a new location, lasting 220 minutes and covering 1,720 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 32,655 feet to 2,140 feet, a decrease of 30,515 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time lasting just 5 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles, 1 mile northeast of North Fair Oaks, California.
The final approach to runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 310.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,450 feet, slightly above the target threshold speed of 151 knots. The touchdown speed was 150 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -414 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 4,811 feet, accounting for 46% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,110 nautical miles, taking a total of 311 minutes, and the aircraft used 92,716 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 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 150 knots, registering at 151 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 1,450 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, registering at -414 feet per minute (fpm). This may be a concern, as a hard touchdown can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 150 kt was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 15 feet. This minor deviation may not have significantly impacted the aircraft's performance, but it does highlight the need for the pilot to maintain a precise alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 kt from 259°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. These conditions likely contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 4,811 feet was within 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable margin. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 25 feet. This minor deviation may not have significantly impacted the aircraft's performance, but it does highlight the need for the pilot to maintain a precise alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 777F aircraft landed safely at KOAK, with a score of 95.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process, and the aircraft performed within acceptable limits.
