Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 174 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 193 kt against a rotation target of 174 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 174 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 59 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 59 ft, 14 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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 2,341 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,341 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 774 m 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 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 19 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT), with a takeoff distance of 1,657 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 193 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cape Town, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 210°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of FACT, where the aircraft ascended from 1,147 feet above sea level to 30,935 feet, an increase of 29,788 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles southeast of Clanwilliam Airport (FAFC) and lasted for 217 minutes, covering a distance of 1,845 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with subsequent enroute climb phases starting 10 miles north of Birise Airport (HTKX) and 86 miles northeast of Tokar (Red Sea, Sudan). The aircraft also experienced several level cruise phases, including one that started 2 miles north of Gorimba Airport (HTKZ) and lasted for 176 minutes, covering a distance of 1,451 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 3 miles north of Dodurga (Bilecik, Turkey). The descent from 36,032 feet above sea level to 10,963 feet took 17 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, including one that started 17 miles northwest of Sile (Istanbul, Turkey) and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 4,065 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 359 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 180°, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,262 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,930 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 621 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 82,804 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a speed slightly above the target threshold speed of 149 kt, which is a relatively minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 146 kt, which is a little faster than the ideal touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -318 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 359 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 kt from 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 3 kt, which is not significant enough to affect the landing. The total landing distance was 2,262 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively normal landing distance for a Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to maintain a straight path. Overall, the landing was executed with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters, but the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely within the designated runway area.
