Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 603 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,458 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, and the aircraft ascended from 1,017 feet above sea level to 35,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,985 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles south of Reno, Nevada, and lasted for 129 minutes, covering a distance of 1,047 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 11 miles south of Roblin, Manitoba, Canada, and ascended from 35,039 feet above sea level to 36,438 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,400 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 9 miles east of Roblin, Manitoba, and lasted for 281 minutes, covering a distance of 2,217 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb at a specific latitude and longitude, and ascended from 37,193 feet above sea level to 38,991 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,799 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again at a different latitude and longitude and lasted for 100 minutes, covering a distance of 807 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile east of Barra, Eilean Siar, Scotland, and descended from 38,993 feet above sea level to 1,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,684 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Glasgow International Airport (EGPF) was made from the southwest, heading 46.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 189 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -276 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 59 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,409 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,413 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 573 minutes. The aircraft used 61,300 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Glasgow International Airport (EGPF) on runway 05. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 46.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 189 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 59°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind.
The total landing distance of 1,409 meters was 60% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and stability throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high level of control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The minor deviations in touchdown point and touchdown rate did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
