MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 170 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 34 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, as soon as you reach 11 ft, rather than waiting until closer to the runway.
What happened: The flare began at 5.7 ft, 5.6 ft later than the normal band, leaving little time to arrest the sink. A late flare like this usually carries through to a firmer-than-normal touchdown.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, calling the flare at 11 ft.
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 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,686 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 326 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.06 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at KSFO, a movement that lasted 15 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28L, the aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 1,857 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and lifted off at 166 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 304°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb began overhead San Bruno, climbing from 1,027 ft asl to 34,993 ft asl, an increase of 33,966 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 101 nm.
Level cruise commenced 3 mi south-west of Mokelumne Hill and continued for 139 minutes, during which 1,177 nm were flown.
A second climb started 5 mi south-west of Emerson, raising the aircraft from 35,021 ft asl to 36,978 ft asl, a gain of 1,957 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 12 nm.
Subsequent cruise began 3 mi south of Red Oak and lasted 110 minutes, covering 882 nm.
Descent commenced 2 mi north of Picture Rocks, descending from 36,996 ft asl to 4,024 ft asl, a loss of 32,972 ft in 15 minutes while traveling 112 nm.
A brief level segment over Dunellen lasted 2 minutes and spanned 6 nm.
Descent resumed over Edison, dropping from 3,992 ft asl to 1,728 ft asl, a decrease of 2,264 ft in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Another short cruise over Fords lasted 3 minutes and covered 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 04R at KEWR involved a descent from 1,283 ft agl to 69 ft agl in 108 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 04R, which is 2,686 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 145 kt. Touchdown occurred at 330 m down the runway at 143 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of minus 622 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.4 m from the centreline. Local weather was 25 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 347°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
The total landing roll measured 1,359 m, equivalent to 51 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was offset by 12.3 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 2,312 nm, took 318 minutes, and consumed 37,201 kg of fuel.
Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 04R at KEWR in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,283 ft agl to 69 ft agl in 108 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates and maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 145 kt. The flare produced a touchdown point 330 m down the runway, which is within the expected range for the aircraft on a 2,686 m runway.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 143 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm vertical rate of -326 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 3.4 m.
Rollout covered a total distance of 1,359 m, representing 51 % of the runway length, and the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 12.3 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 347°, comprising a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind.
Fine-tune the flare to reduce the touchdown speed marginally and to bring the touchdown point closer to the centreline. Small adjustments to pitch timing will also help minimise the rollout misalignment while preserving the overall high score.
