Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 141 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 166 kt, 25 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,821 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 m touchdown sits inside 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) in Iceland. The takeoff distance was 1,061 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -0°C, with a wind speed of 27 knots at 290°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of BIKF. The climb started from an altitude of 1,091 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,647 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,556 feet in just 20 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 118 nautical miles during this climb phase.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it began its enroute level cruise 115 miles southwest of Hellissandur, Iceland. This phase of the flight lasted for 194 minutes and covered a distance of 1,385 nautical miles. The aircraft remained at a constant altitude of 37,647 feet above sea level during this period.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 12 miles northeast of Wabush Airport (CYWK) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The descent started from an altitude of 37,947 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 2,885 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,062 feet in just 4 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 24 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The final approach to runway 36 at CYWK Wabush Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 339.0° at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 1,040 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 1,821 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 175 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 394 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 169 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -532 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -21°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,243 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 20 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,533 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 227 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Wabush Airport (CYWK) on runway 36 from the south. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,040 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway at a heading of 339.0°. The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement in the landing performance. The threshold speed was too high at 175 knots, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. Additionally, the touchdown speed was too fast at 169 knots, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -532 feet per minute (fpm). A touchdown speed of around 145-150 knots is generally considered optimal for a Boeing 777-200ER.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cold, with a temperature of -21°C, and a moderate headwind of 5 knots. The crosswind was relatively light at 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement in terms of speed and alignment.
