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 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 33 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,539 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,539 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9, then departed from runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH), with a takeoff distance of 1,894 meters, which was 89% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Edinburgh Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 529 feet above sea level to 12,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,453 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Wallacestone, Scotland, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 13,015 feet above sea level to 22,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,975 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. This climb phase started 4 miles north of Kirkconnel, Scotland.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 4 miles west of Silloth, England, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Coniston, England, and descending from 22,991 feet above sea level to 10,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,609 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began again, this time overhead Ramsbottom, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Diggle, England, and descending from 9,816 feet above sea level to 1,752 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,063 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,478 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23R, which had a length of 2,434 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 165 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 440 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 157 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -338 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,463 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 33.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 201 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 87.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,478 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 165 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 440 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 157 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,463 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 33.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Despite this minor issue, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
