MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 135 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 69 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 130 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 147 kt against the 130 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 2,620 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

2 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
| # | Where | Into flight | Touchdown | Ground speed | Sideways | On the ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KHHR · Jack Northrop Field Hawthorne Municipal Airport | 8:20 | 828 ft/min | 12.9 kt | 1.9 kt | 0:15 |
| 2 | KLGB · Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field) | 31:15 | 897 ft/min | 15.1 kt | 14.3 kt | End of flight |
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 47 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,667 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,667 ft of the 10,812 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,620 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a taxi of 20 minutes covering 2 nm.
Take-off was on runway 16L with a takeoff roll of 7,818 ft, using 66 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 147 kt. Local weather was 49 °F, wind 1 kt from 149°, with 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 35 seconds, averaging 1,208 fpm and reaching 158 kt at the top of the climb.
The climb continued from 1,234 ft asl to 36,002 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 100 nm, beginning 1 mile north-east of Des Moines and including a brief level-off at 28,000 ft asl.
Cruise was level between 36,000 ft asl and 38,000 ft asl for 126 minutes, covering 862 nm, starting 9 miles south-west of Sooke.
Descent from 37,752 ft asl to 8,501 ft asl took 18 minutes over 74 nm, beginning 50 miles south-west of Yakutat.
A level segment at 8,500 ft asl lasted 64 minutes, covering 226 nm, starting 37 miles south of Yakataga Airport (PACY).
A climb from 8,499 ft asl to 10,209 ft asl took 2 minutes over 4 nm, beginning 3 miles west of Valdez Hospital Heliport (1AK7).
Level flight at 10,700 ft asl lasted 2 minutes over 3 nm, beginning 1 mile south-west of Highland Airport (47AK).
Descent from 10,795 ft asl to 1,595 ft asl took 15 minutes covering 54 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of Bryant Army Airfield (PAFR), with brief level-offs at 7,300 ft asl, 3,000 ft asl and 1,600 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 15 at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport began at 1,447 ft agl and descended to 107 ft agl in 89 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met. Configuration on final was flap 5 at 1,462 ft agl with a speed of 156 kt.
Landing on runway 15 (runway length 10,812 ft) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was well above target at 148 kt. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 1,223 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt, a little fast, with a fair descent rate of minus 236 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather was 50 °F, wind 4 kt from 162°, with 0 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 5,384 ft, 50 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 32 ft.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in 9 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,335 nm in 266 minutes and used 36,712 lb of fuel.
