Flight Score
Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 142 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 148 kt, 6 kt above the 142 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 0.3° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold.
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 1,966 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,966 m of the 2,560 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 915 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,109 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Aalsmeerderbrug, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,010 feet above sea level to 34,198 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,188 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 16 miles east of Walton-on-the-Naze, a location in Essex, England. This cruise phase lasted 83 minutes and covered a distance of 611 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from a location with coordinates 52.9966841° latitude and -14.9364196° longitude. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 33,935 feet above sea level to 34,901 feet above sea level, an increase of 966 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting at a location with coordinates 53.006028° latitude and -15.3008537° longitude. This cruise phase lasted 192 minutes and covered a distance of 1,466 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from a location 22 miles north of Cartwright Airport, a location in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,948 feet above sea level to 35,958 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,010 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 15 miles northwest of Cartwright Airport. This cruise phase lasted 76 minutes and covered a distance of 547 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from a location 10 miles southeast of Saint-Quentin Airport, a location in New Brunswick, Canada. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 35,898 feet above sea level to 37,795 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,897 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 11 miles northeast of Grand Falls Airport, a location in New Brunswick, Canada. This cruise phase lasted 58 minutes and covered a distance of 390 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Ashaway, a location in Rhode Island, United States. The descent took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,775 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,468 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at John F Kennedy International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 211.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 395 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 22L, which has
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) with a score of 81.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 211.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being excessively over the target at 103 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown. The touchdown point was located 506 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 145 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -379 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,893 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 81.1%.
