Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the back pressure smoothly through the moment of touchdown and let the mainwheels settle without relaxing or adding a second pitch input.
What happened: The approach and flare both stayed within limits, yet the aircraft bounced at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuous sink through to touchdown with no second pitch input.
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

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 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Singapore Changi Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 9 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 02C, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 185 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 9 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,028 feet above sea level to 32,340 feet, an increase of 31,312 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 220 minutes, during which it covered 1,903 nautical miles. This pattern of enroute climbs and level cruises continued as the aircraft traversed the Pacific Ocean, with notable climbs at various points, including a 1,610-foot increase in altitude in just 2 minutes. The aircraft ultimately entered a level cruise phase, lasting 514 minutes, during which it covered 1,520 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, San Francisco International Airport, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 37,313 feet to 8,136 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 28R and touching down at a speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,417 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway length. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 7,486 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 862 minutes and a fuel consumption of 121,607 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 143 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the crew's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was not a significant deviation.
The touchdown speed of 141 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -159 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 7 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a headwind of 21 kt, may have also contributed to the slight deviation.
The total landing distance of 1,417 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
