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 5.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The roll
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 3,345 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 1.7 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 51 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 918 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,197 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,920 fpm on average to 918 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 40 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 52× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 6 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +42 kt on the approach speed of 137 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

Taxi in
Side view — the last 1,824 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 32 ft, 18 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 447 m in, 142 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,824 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 640 fpm at 30 ft to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.4° on the way down. Into 30 ft at 138 kt, on the 137 kt approach speed, and 126 kt at touchdown.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,824 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.7 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 4.2 m left at the widest. No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 026° at 4 kt · 4 kt tail · 0 kt across
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
The 447 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 134 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 40 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09R at London Heathrow Airport, with the Boeing 787-9 aircraft taking off into a warm and relatively calm local weather. The temperature was 26 °C, with a gentle headwind of 13 kt and a crosswind of just 2 kt. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 182 kt, covering 58% of the runway's 1,951 m takeoff distance.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting just north of Feltham in Greater London. Over the course of 2 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,087 ft to 6,277 ft, an increase of 5,190 ft, while covering 9 nm. This was followed by a brief level cruise over Mitcham, lasting just 5 minutes and covering 24 nm.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 6,280 ft to 35,485 ft, an increase of 29,205 ft, over the course of 16 minutes and covering 110 nm. This climb took the aircraft over the English countryside and into the skies above Kent. The aircraft then entered a long level cruise, lasting 882 minutes and covering an impressive 5,627 nm. This leg of the flight took the aircraft over the English Channel and into the skies above Belgium and eventually Malaysia.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 16 miles south of Pekan in Malaysia. Over the course of 22 minutes, the aircraft descended from 36,388 ft to 2,821 ft, a decrease of 33,567 ft, while covering 88 nm. This was followed by a brief level cruise over the coast of Malaysia, lasting just 7 minutes and covering 27 nm.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 10 miles north of Singapore Changi Airport. Over the course of 2 minutes, the aircraft descended from 2,550 ft to 1,295 ft, a decrease of 1,255 ft, while covering 6 nm. The aircraft then lined up for its final approach to runway 20R, heading 203.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 126 kt and a touchdown distance of 449 m. The touchdown rate was fair at -204 fpm, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline. The aircraft then rolled out of the runway, with the runway rollout alignment slightly misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 5,897 nm, taking 761 minutes and using 70,393 kg of fuel.
