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 9.3°, 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 19 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 19 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 19 ft to touchdown.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 8,816 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 8,816 ft of the 11,537 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,348 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 777-300, then departed from runway 22R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,468 feet, which accounted for 78% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31°F and winds of 2 knots at 20°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and involved a significant ascent from 1,065 feet above sea level to 34,338 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,272 feet in just 18 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 119 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Enola, Pennsylvania. This phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered an impressive 1,990 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles northwest of El Portal, California. The descent from 34,283 feet above sea level to 1,299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,984 feet, took 20 minutes and covered 112 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport. The approach was made from the southeast, with a heading of 298.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28R, which had a length of 11,537 feet, was notable for its touchdown point being 2,028 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 155 knots, which was slightly faster than target, but the touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and winds of 2 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 8,596 feet, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,232 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total consumption of 98,444 pounds.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 84.5%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with the threshold height being well above the target at 71 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was also well above the target at 163 knots, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the approach. The touchdown point was 2,028 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 155 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for a safe landing. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and smooth. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 170°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 8,596 feet, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for large aircraft like the Boeing 777-300. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed. However, the aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good, and the crew's skills and experience were evident in their ability to bring the aircraft safely to the ground.
