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 15 m 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 90 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 90 ft, 45 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,956 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,956 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 699 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 16R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 205 knots after covering 69% of the 2,638-meter runway.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 33°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 120°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind. The enroute climb started 2 miles southeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,061 feet above sea level to 32,370 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The first enroute level cruise phase began at a latitude of 31.6957964 and longitude of 124.3853555, lasting 46 minutes and covering 1,325 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase at a latitude of 40.450176 and longitude of 149.6842782, ascending from 32,332 feet to 34,426 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase at a latitude of 40.7759323 and longitude of 150.1205056, lasting 53 minutes and covering 1,774 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase 27 miles west of Nikolski, Alaska, ascending from 33,498 feet to 35,493 feet in 3 minutes, covering 83 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise phase 11 miles east of Chernofski Harbor Seaplane Base, lasting 62 minutes and covering 1,967 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 2 miles northeast of Point Arena, California, descending from 35,607 feet to 1,293 feet in 25 minutes, covering 105 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport took place from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 298.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 287 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 142 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 260°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,879 meters, covering 53% of the 3,516-meter runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 5,422 nautical miles, taking 217 minutes and consuming 96,968 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 150 kt, registering at 142 kt. This may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot preference. The touchdown point was located 287 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 8 kt from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 6 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -246 fpm was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,879 meters, which accounts for approximately 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and deviation from the touchdown zone may be areas for improvement in future landings.
