MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 729 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 20 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 20 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 273 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 36R at ROAH Naha Airport, covering 3 nm in 10 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 36R, the aircraft accelerated to a rotation speed of 151 kt and lifted off after a takeoff distance of 1,219 m, representing 38 % of the runway. Local conditions were a temperature of 29 °C, wind 4 kt from 10°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of ROAH, with the airplane climbing from 1,024 ft asl to 37,554 ft asl, an increase of 36,530 ft achieved in 32 minutes while covering 225 nm.
The first cruise segment began 31 nm north of ROIG Ishigaki Airport and lasted 5 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 38 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 39 nm north-east of Yonakuni, descending from 38,001 ft asl to 3,041 ft asl, a loss of 34,960 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 156 nm.
A second cruise phase originated 8 nm north-east of Hsinchu, Taiwan, lasting 8 minutes and covering 25 nm at constant altitude.
The subsequent descent began 5 nm west of the Z28U Highway Strip near Taipei, dropping from 2,343 ft asl to 1,373 ft asl, a decrease of 970 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 4 nm.
On final approach to runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,330 ft agl to 58 ft agl in 103 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 05R, which is 3,347 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 138 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 273 m down the runway with a speed of 141 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 290 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 19.6 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 25 °C, wind 3 kt from 60°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,276 m, equal to 38 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was offset by 17.6 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the Airbus taxied to the parking area, traveling 2 nm in 6 minutes.
In total, the flight covered 458 nm, required 85 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,851 kg of fuel.
