MY FS FLIGHTS
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 5.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 36 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 36 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 36 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,280 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,280 ft of the 9,837 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,451 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner taxiing from the parking area to the runway at John F Kennedy International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31L, with a takeoff distance of 5,283 feet, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 279°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Howard Beach, New York, and began its ascent from 1,014 feet above sea level to 33,716 feet, an increase of 32,702 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south-east of Binghamton, New York, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering 261 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,198 feet to 37,855 feet, an increase of 3,657 feet in 5 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles, as it passed overhead Farrow's Field Owen Sound in Ontario, Canada. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 692 minutes, covering 5,048 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew south of Tobermory Airport in Ontario, Canada.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,727 feet to 41,394 feet, an increase of 3,667 feet in 5 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles, as it passed over a specific location with coordinates 39.1084846° latitude and 149.7227521° longitude. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 63 minutes, covering 397 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over another location with coordinates 38.8331205° latitude and 149.1056747° longitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 41,863 feet to 8,007 feet, a decrease of 33,856 feet in 15 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles, as it passed 45 miles east of Kashima-shi in Ibaraki, Japan. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 11 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew 4 miles west of Iwase in Ibaraki, Japan.
The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 7,691 feet to 4,421 feet, a decrease of 3,270 feet in 7 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles, as it passed 2 miles south of Toride in Ibaraki, Japan. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew 1 mile south of Shimotoda in Saitama-ken, Japan.
The final descent began as the aircraft flew 3 miles north-west of Tokyo, Japan, and descended from 3,919 feet to 1,365 feet, a decrease of 2,555 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16L at Tokyo Haneda International Airport, flying from the north-west at a heading of 150.0° and an altitude of 1,324 feet.
The aircraft landed on runway 16L, which was 9,837 feet long, with a threshold height of 72 feet above ground level, well above the target. The threshold speed was good at 149 knots, and the touchdown point was 2,106 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner successfully landed at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport on runway 16L. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 150.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,324 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, as evident from the landing performance.
The threshold height at 72 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 149 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown point was 2,106 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly longer than the ideal distance. However, the touchdown rate of -141 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 6,035 feet was 61% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 84.8%.
