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 3.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 5.4 ft, and this flight then touched down at 264 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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 7,027 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,027 ft of the 12,272 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,480 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,774 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from Oakland, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 34,163 feet above sea level. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 83 miles southwest of Inverness, California, and lasted for 142 minutes, covering a distance of 1,060 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,075 feet to 36,079 feet, an increase of 2,004 feet in just 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The climb started at a location with a latitude of 30.0588383 and a longitude of -143.6931227.
After the second climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started at a location with a latitude of 29.9508643 and a longitude of -143.9172861. This cruise lasted for 109 minutes and covered a distance of 808 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 80 miles north of PHLU Kalaupapa Airport in Hawaii. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,061 feet to 8,584 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 4 miles northeast of Waimanalo Beach in Hawaii and lasted for just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Honolulu and took 13 minutes to descend from 8,125 feet to 1,297 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which is 12,272 feet long. The threshold speed was good at 144 knots, and the touchdown speed was also good at 139 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 1,127 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 200°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,773 feet, which is 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,102 nautical miles, and the flight took 318 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 89,075 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.4%. The final approach to runway 08L was initiated from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 144 knots being maintained. The touchdown point was located 1,127 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 139 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 6,773 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway length at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport is 12,272 feet, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
Despite the favorable weather conditions, the aircraft experienced some issues during the landing roll. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline. These deviations from the ideal alignment may have been caused by factors such as wind shear or pilot error.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. However, the deviations from the ideal alignment during the landing roll may indicate a need for further training or adjustments to the aircraft's handling characteristics.
