Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 22 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 22 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 921 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 800 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), with the aircraft taking off after covering 62% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 2,170 meters, and the liftoff speed was 221 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 28 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 27 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead San Bruno, California, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,084 feet above sea level to 30,653 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,569 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south of Little River Airport (KLLR) and lasted for 131 minutes, covering a distance of 979 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes, durations, and distances covered.
The first enroute climb took place over the coordinates 51.4876531, -139.0711005, where the aircraft ascended from 29,870 feet to 31,769 feet in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 171 minutes, covering a distance of 1,329 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes, durations, and distances covered. The final enroute climb took place over the coordinates 28.4058317, 125.8067033, where the aircraft ascended from 37,490 feet to 39,450 feet in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 52 miles southeast of Jiazi, Guangdong Sheng, China, where the aircraft descended from 39,565 feet to 5,309 feet in 25 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 71.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 07C, which had a length of 3,452 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 121 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 430 meters, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -712 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 31.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 100 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total flight distance was 6,197 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 840 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 120,269 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 121 knots. The touchdown distance of 430 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was excessively heavy at -712 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown.
One notable issue with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 31.2 meters from the centerline. This may have been caused by a combination of factors, including the aircraft's heading and the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate and runway alignment. However, the aircraft's speed and touchdown distance were well within acceptable limits, indicating a good level of control and precision during the landing.
