Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 232 m past the target, landing at 689 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,121 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,121 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 689 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 36C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in 8 minutes, covering 3 nm on the ground.
Takeoff was executed on runway 36C with a ground roll of 1,333 m, representing 47 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 184 kt. Ambient conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 080°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile south-west of Lijnden, rising from 937 ft asl to 32,010 ft asl, an increase of 31,073 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 114 nm.
The first cruise segment began 19 nm north-west of Nieuw-Haamstede and continued for 88 minutes, during which 697 nm were flown at level altitude.
A subsequent climb started at latitude 50.0152118, longitude -14.9155702, climbing from 32,185 ft asl to 34,000 ft asl, a gain of 1,815 ft in 2 minutes over 12 nm.
Cruise continued from latitude 49.9543583, longitude -15.2587175 for 187 minutes, covering 1,510 nm at constant altitude.
The next climb originated at latitude 34.8402642, longitude -42.7916396, ascending from 33,999 ft asl to 35,989 ft asl, an increase of 1,990 ft in 3 minutes and spanning 27 nm.
A further cruise phase started at latitude 34.5107432, longitude -43.1977669, lasting 293 minutes and encompassing 2,408 nm.
Descent began 11 nm south-east of Santana, descending from 35,989 ft asl to 18,011 ft asl, a loss of 17,979 ft in 12 minutes while covering 80 nm.
A short level cruise followed 2 nm north of La Pena for 7 minutes, during which 30 nm were flown.
The second descent segment started 4 nm north-east of SKFV El Santuario Airport Ambalema, dropping from 18,018 ft asl to 12,770 ft asl, a decrease of 5,249 ft in 7 minutes over 21 nm.
A brief cruise then proceeded 3 nm east of Alban for 2 minutes, adding 4 nm to the flight path.
The final descent commenced 2 nm north-east of Facatativa, falling from 12,029 ft asl to 9,610 ft asl, a reduction of 2,419 ft in 3 minutes while covering 9 nm.
On final approach to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport, the aircraft aligned from the north-west on a heading of 127.0° at 4 nm and 1,233 ft agl.
Landing on runway 14R, which is 3,798 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 144 kt; touchdown occurred 294 m beyond the touchdown zone at 137 kt and a vertical speed of minus 107 fpm. Weather at the time was 12 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 050°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind component. The total landing roll measured 2,061 m, equivalent to 54 % of the runway length, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out and taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traversing 1 nm on the taxi-in.
In total, the flight covered 4,922 nm, required 633 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 86,383 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 entered the final approach to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport from the north-west on a heading of 127.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,233 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft maintained good height and a threshold speed of 144 kt, both described as good. The touchdown point was recorded 294 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating the flare was completed and the aircraft crossed the threshold at the expected height and speed.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 137 kt, judged good, with a smooth vertical rate of -107 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was described as very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,061 m, representing 54 % of the 3,798 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.0 % the landing was excellent; a minor refinement would be to aim for a touchdown point slightly nearer the intended aim point to reduce the distance beyond the touchdown zone, while maintaining the current speed and flare technique.
