Hi,  It took me a little while but I took my B777-200LR from Kmia to Ksea. I research the flight, the time the fuel needed and set up my block fuel like I have explained.
I took off at 10AM and my plane headed west for the 2550 miles flight.
- I made an adjustment for time bercause the airline flew 2800. 6 HRS my time
As expected, headwind all the way, at times as strong as 90 to 95kts 15 or 20 deg off my heading.  The flight progressed good and as I was nearing Ksea, my fuel was right in line with a reserve of 21.1
Little wind from the north at destination but 1/8 m. visibility total overcast.
I took RW34R to land, to be fancy I added a Star and Trans.
Cleared the discon, and the rte was looking good.
My ED was gone and a new one appeared at RW34R at a height of 483'
- airport is at 433. It also included a missed approach leg and a hold away from the aiport. My ND map was a little crazy. The new TD was now within these new wpts and after being close to the airport the new rte took me east about 25 miles before coming back. I flew the plane on the legs page and monitored my ND map. Total IFR - white.
respected the speed and alt religiously in this region. No visual.
I crossed the runway 90 deg at 12000 doing 250. 3 or 4 miles on the other side I had a downwind leg.- The wpt capture stopped there and I vectored the plane to follow the rte, after the turn I capture the loc at 2800 down to 160. Up to this point, it was total IFR.  In the GS, around 900, I started to make up the aiport and the runway. At 200 I took over the landing and put her down at 132kts, 30 flaps.
total extended flight 6.8 hrs, fuel left  14.5  I was quite pleased.
Mark, you are right the Stars can be weird !  :o
Now, I have to plan returning to Sao Paulo !!!

I was flying American new color for that leg.
