MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 543 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 267 m past the target, landing at 724 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,669 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,669 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 724 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hong Kong International Airport, the Boeing 777F began its journey on runway 07R, taking off with a distance of 2,231 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 193 knots, with a local temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 4 knots. As it departed the airport, the aircraft encountered a crosswind of 2 knots, but the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's trajectory.
The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile north of Tung Chung, where the aircraft ascended from 1,019 feet above sea level to 30,641 feet, a vertical increase of 29,622 feet in 22 minutes. The climb was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase, which lasted for 244 minutes and covered a distance of 2,129 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs and level cruises, with the final climb phase taking place over the Pacific Ocean, where the aircraft ascended from 32,999 feet to 34,947 feet in just 2 minutes. The descent phase began 85 miles southwest of Sea Ranch, California, where the aircraft descended from 35,011 feet to 1,335 feet in 25 minutes.
As the aircraft approached San Francisco International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 28R from the southeast, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,311 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 303 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 knots. The touchdown rate was an impressive -99 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,584 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 6,409 nautical miles and using 109,494 kilograms of fuel in the process, which took a total of 762 minutes.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,311 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 298.0°. The approach was conducted in a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle 6-knot headwind from 300°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft crossed the threshold, it maintained a speed of 145 knots, adhering to the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 303 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots. The touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute (fpm) was exceptional, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline.
The Boeing 777F's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,584 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 91.9%. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through the approach and touchdown phases was impressive, despite the minor deviation from the centerline.
