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 1.6°, 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 96 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 96 ft, 51 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 6,052 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,052 ft of the 8,899 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,245 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 33 at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC) in Alaska. The takeoff distance was 3,683 feet, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and winds of 2 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. After a successful takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Lake Hood Airport (Z41) in Alaska. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 75 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,176 feet above sea level to 34,011 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 201 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 7 miles southeast of Perry Island Seaplane Base (PYL) in Alaska. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from a latitude of 58.0662549 and longitude of -143.2970306. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,655 feet to 36,678 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 210 minutes and covered a distance of 1,635 nautical miles. This phase started at a latitude of 57.7403721 and longitude of -142.6191235. After the long cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Meadows Field (KBFL) in Bakersfield, California. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,095 feet to 1,407 feet.
The final approach to runway 24R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 880 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was hard at -422 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and winds of 2 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 5,787 feet, which is 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,045 nautical miles, which was covered in 292 minutes. The aircraft used 74,403 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 880 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, suggesting a slight over-run. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was still within the acceptable limits, indicating a controlled touchdown. The touchdown rate of -422 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, which may be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall safety.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 5,787 feet was 65% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
