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 11°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 105 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 105 ft, 60 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 2.9° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 2.9° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,452 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,998 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 07L at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC) in Alaska. The takeoff distance was 3,832 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 10°. There was a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Lake Hood Anchorage (LHD). The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,139 feet above sea level to 34,584 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles north west of Middleton Island Airport (PAMD). This phase lasted for 199 minutes and covered a distance of 1,625 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of French Camp in California. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,901 feet to 26,999 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Clayton in California. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles north of Oakley in California. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 26,866 feet to 1,845 feet.
The final approach to runway 28R at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) was made from the east, with a heading of 291.0° at an altitude of 1,825 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 5,452 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 655 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -432 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 60 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 210°. There was a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 3,951 feet, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 76 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,839 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 261 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 76,477 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 291.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,825 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 655 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -432 feet per minute (fpm). This could be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall structural integrity.
One notable issue with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 60 feet. This could be attributed to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 3,951 feet, which accounted for 72% of the available runway length. This is a relatively high percentage, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down more than necessary before touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 76 feet from the centerline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas of concern that need to be addressed, including the hard touchdown rate and the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment.
