MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 18 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 71 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 71 ft, 26 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,714 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,714 ft of the 10,511 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,555 ft 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii. The takeoff distance was 4,546 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 80°F and winds of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,061 feet above sea level to 34,681 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,620 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 60 miles northeast of 18HI Brandt Field Port Saint Joe and lasted for 231 minutes, covering a distance of 1,855 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from a latitude of 36.3410912 and a longitude of -124.5099212. The descent from 35,203 feet above sea level to 1,823 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,380 feet, took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 310.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,783 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots and a touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 2,117 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 73°F and winds of 4 knots at 309°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 7,376 feet, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,106 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 298 minutes. The aircraft used 82,396 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 310.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,783 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, the threshold height at 169 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. This could be attributed to various factors such as incorrect altitude settings, inadequate descent rates, or wind shear. Fortunately, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing.
The touchdown point was 2,117 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. This could be due to the aircraft's excessive speed or the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the extended landing distance.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 309°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 4 knots, which is relatively light. The total landing distance of 7,376 feet was 70% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more accurate threshold height and touchdown position.
