Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 198 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 162 kt against a target of 198 kt, running 36 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 198 kt.
Arrival
Apply small, early rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline from touchdown onward.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 9.8 m off the centreline during the landing roll, and by touchdown the offset had grown to 11 m. A centreline deviation that appears on landing usually carries through to a larger offset at touchdown.
Watch for: Centreline marker: aircraft tracking straight over the runway centreline, not drifting to either side.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 2,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The 777-200LR taxied from its parking position to runway 24L at KLAX, a movement that lasted 23 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 165 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,605 m (52 % of the runway). Ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 250°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-west of El Segundo, where the airplane rose from 1,111 ft asl to 38,005 ft asl, an altitude gain of 36,893 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 89 nm.
The first cruise segment began 12 miles north-east of 0CA3 Crawford Airport, Santa Ynez, and persisted for 95 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 693 nm at level flight.
Descent started 1 mile north-east of Barberton, Washington, with the aircraft descending from 37,995 ft asl to 5,394 ft asl, a loss of 32,602 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 120 nm.
A brief cruise phase followed 1 mile south of Bainbridge Island, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The next descent began 4 miles south-east of Bainbridge Island, where altitude fell from 4,907 ft agl to 1,786 ft agl, a reduction of 3,121 ft in 5 minutes across 14 nm.
A short cruise segment then occurred 1 mile east of Bainbridge Island, lasting 4 minutes and spanning 10 nm.
At KSEA the flight executed a go-around on runway 16R, climbing to an altitude of 727 ft agl before re-establishing the approach.
Subsequent final approach to runway 16R at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport involved a descent from 1,335 ft agl to 26 ft agl in 116 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was completed on runway 16R, whose length is 2,588 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 140 kt and the threshold height was satisfactory.
In total, the flight covered 972 nm, required 187 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 19,750 kg of fuel.
The 777-200LR executed a stabilised approach to runway 16R at KSEA, with the stabilisation assessment recorded as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate; gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed were all within limits. The final approach descended from 1,335 ft agl to 26 ft agl in 116 seconds and the pilot was scored on the stabilisation gates, contributing to an overall score of 98.1 %.
At threshold the aircraft encountered a good threshold height and maintained a good threshold speed of 140 kt on runway 16R, whose length is 2,588 m.
Maintain the precise descent profile and the consistent threshold speed to preserve the high performance demonstrated, ensuring continued adherence to the stabilised-approach criteria.
