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 580 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 862 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,590 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,590 m of the 3,030 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 862 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A380-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at KSFO, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28L, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 2,580 m, representing 77 % of the runway, and rotated at 147 kt. Local weather at the time was 20 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 249°, including a 5 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
The first en-route climb began overhead San Bruno, climbing from 984 ft asl to 32,001 ft asl, an increase of 31,017 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 137 nm.
A level cruise segment then commenced 28 nm west of Caspar, lasting 35 minutes and spanning 273 nm.
A subsequent climb started at latitude 40.9787423, longitude -129.9202257, raising the aircraft from 31,999 ft asl to 33,998 ft asl, a gain of 1,999 ft in 3 minutes over 25 nm.
The flight continued with a cruise that began at latitude 41.1937202, longitude -130.4129803, lasting 182 minutes and covering 1,364 nm.

Following that, a cruise segment started at latitude 52.0934621, longitude -160.3724998, lasting 139 minutes and encompassing 1,084 nm.
The next climb originated at latitude 53.6518809, longitude 169.655773, lifting the aircraft from 35,999 ft asl to 38,001 ft asl, an ascent of 2,002 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 25 nm.
A cruise phase then began at latitude 53.5092351, longitude 168.9753048, lasting 103 minutes and covering 754 nm.
The final climb of the en-route segment started at latitude 46.2142127, longitude 152.9995081, climbing from 38,326 ft asl to 38,991 ft asl, a gain of 665 ft in 2 minutes over 11 nm.
Subsequent cruise activity commenced at latitude 46.0830194, longitude 152.7904223, lasting 112 minutes and spanning 804 nm.
Descent began 50 nm east of Kashima-shi, dropping from 38,993 ft asl to 8,002 ft asl, a loss of 30,991 ft in 17 minutes while covering 109 nm.
A short cruise followed 3 nm south-east of Yotsukaido, lasting 6 minutes and covering 26 nm.
The aircraft then descended 4 nm west of Ohara, falling from 7,635 ft asl to 5,518 ft asl, a decrease of 2,116 ft in 3 minutes across 13 nm.
Another brief cruise segment occurred 8 nm south-east of Kisarazu, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
A final descent started 3 nm south of Kisarazu, reducing altitude from 4,974 ft asl to 1,338 ft asl, a loss of 3,636 ft in 5 minutes over 11 nm.
During the final approach to runway 34L at RJTT, the aircraft descended from 1,354 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 98 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 34L was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown occurred 452 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 kt and a vertical rate of minus 207 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.2 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 70°, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance measured 1,515 m, representing 50 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 4,675 nm, required 646 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 144,079 kg of fuel.
