The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 34 at ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, a movement that required six minutes and covered less than one nautical mile.

During the departure roll on runway 34, the aircraft used 6,905 ft of runway, representing 55 % of the available length, and lifted off at 178 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 82 °F with a wind of 8 kt from 046°, providing an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced two miles north-west of ZGSZ, where the airplane rose from 964 ft asl to 25,989 ft asl, an altitude gain of 25,025 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 117 nm.

The first cruise segment began 31 nm north of Heyuan and lasted 38 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 319 nm at level flight.

A second climb started five miles south-west of ZSSR Shangrao Sanqingshan, raising the aircraft from 26,315 ft asl to 28,414 ft asl, a gain of 2,099 ft in three minutes over a distance of 28 nm.

The subsequent cruise leg originated 21 nm north-east of Shangrao, persisted for 104 minutes and covered 961 nm.

A third climb was initiated seven miles north-east of Sumoto (Hyogo, Japan), taking the airplane from 29,024 ft asl to 30,821 ft asl, an increase of 1,797 ft in two minutes across 14 nm.

The following cruise segment began one mile west of Kaizuka (Osaka-fu, Japan) and continued for 199 minutes, during which 1,841 nm were flown.

Climb number four started at latitude 48.2705004, longitude 171.0966192, lifting the aircraft from 30,998 ft asl to 32,943 ft asl, a rise of 1,945 ft in two minutes while covering 14 nm.

Cruise four commenced at latitude 48.3556249, longitude 171.4533514 and lasted 189 minutes, traversing 1,792 nm.

The fifth climb began at latitude 45.139609, longitude -145.0651822, climbing from 32,996 ft asl to 34,999 ft asl, an increase of 2,003 ft in three minutes over 29 nm.

Cruise five started at latitude 45.0013657, longitude -144.3816982, persisted for 147 minutes and covered 1,277 nm.

Descent commenced seven miles south-west of Derby Acres, California, with the aircraft descending from 34,471 ft asl to 1,314 ft asl, a loss of 33,157 ft in 27 minutes while covering 138 nm.

On final approach to runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, the airplane descended from 1,231 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 93 seconds. Weather at the time was 88 °F with a wind of 13 kt from 269°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt head-wind component; the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 25L, whose length is 11,080 ft, occurred with a threshold speed of 157 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown was recorded 305 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 149 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 199 fpm and very good alignment. The total landing roll measured 4,825 ft, representing 44 % of the runway.

Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, completing the landing roll of 4,825 ft without deviation.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in four minutes, covering less than one nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered 6,538 nm, required 743 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 230,086 lb of fuel.
