Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 30 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring speed back to 128 kt by the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 140 kt against a target of 128 kt, and the flare that followed strayed from its usual profile; this combination usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 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 7,474 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,474 ft of the 15,958 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,774 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm) from the parking area to the runway. The departure roll took place on runway 17R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 5,742 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 8 kt at 160°. The crosswind component was 3 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt. As the aircraft climbed, it reached a liftoff speed of 157 kt.
The enroute climb started 1 mile south of KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and continued for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 162 nm. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,536 feet above sea level (asl) to 32,991 ft asl, an increase of 31,455 ft. This was followed by a level cruise that started 5 miles northwest of Yarborough Landing, Arkansas, and lasted for 50 minutes, covering a distance of 446 nm.
The flight then entered another enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of II96 Buchta Airport Haysville, Indiana, and climbed from 33,172 ft asl to 34,508 ft asl, an increase of 1,336 ft, in just 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise that started 6 miles northwest of French Lick, Indiana, and lasted for 186 minutes, covering a distance of 1,564 nm.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. The climbs took place over various locations, including II96 Buchta Airport Haysville, Indiana; French Lick, Indiana; Catalina, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; Dooagh, Connaught, Ireland; and Sitovo, Oblast Silistra, Bulgaria. The level cruises took place over locations such as Yarborough Landing, Arkansas; French Lick, Indiana; Catalina, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; Dooagh, Connaught, Ireland; and LBTR Tervel Airstrip Tervel, Oblast Dobrich, Bulgaria.
The flight then entered a descent phase, which started 32 miles northeast of OERT Ras Tanura Airport Ras Tanura, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. The aircraft descended from 40,999 ft asl to 39,146 ft asl, a decrease of 1,854 ft, in just 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise that started 34 miles north of OBBI Bahrain International Airport Manama, Muharraq Governorate, Bahrain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nm.
The flight continued with multiple descents and level cruises, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. The descents took place over locations such as OBBI Bahrain International Airport Manama, Muharraq Governorate, Bahrain; Al Khawr, Baladiyat al Khawr wa adh Dhakhirah, Qatar; and Al Wakrah, Al Wakrah, Qatar. The level cruises took place over locations such as Fuwayrit, Baladiyat ash Shamal, Qatar; and Musay`id, Al Wakrah, Qatar.
The final approach to runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport took place from the southeast, with a heading of 338.0° at 4 nm and 1,260 ft above ground level (agl). The landing took place on a runway length of 15,958
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at OTHH Hamad International Airport on runway 34R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but there were some discrepancies in the landing performance.
The threshold height at 132 feet agl was significantly higher than the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 141 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilots may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown point was 2,217 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than the target, and the touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°. The crosswind was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind was negligible at 1 knot. The total landing distance was 7,017 feet, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some discrepancies in the aircraft's performance, including excessive threshold height, high threshold speed, and slight deviations in the touchdown and rollout positions. These issues may require further investigation and analysis to determine the root cause and to implement corrective actions to improve the aircraft's landing performance.
