Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 433 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 6.3 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.3 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 2,186 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,186 m of the 3,582 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,045 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Milan Malpensa International Airport, where it began its journey on runway 35L. After a 7-minute taxiing period, the Boeing 777-300 took off, covering 50% of the 3,500-meter runway in a distance of 1,746 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 192 knots, with a local temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot.
As the flight progressed, it entered a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with the first climb taking place 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione, Italy. The aircraft climbed from 1,685 feet to 32,609 feet in 18 minutes, covering 125 nautical miles. The flight then entered a 290-minute level cruise, covering 2,487 nautical miles. This pattern of climbs and level cruises continued, with the aircraft making adjustments to its altitude and heading as it traversed the globe. Notably, the flight made a brief climb of 1,778 feet in 2 minutes, 47 miles west of Chardara Airport in Kazakhstan, and another climb of 1,989 feet in 3 minutes, 30 miles north of Bijie Feixiong Airport in China.
As the flight approached its destination, it began its descent 2 miles west of Sual in the Philippines. The aircraft descended from 36,999 feet to 1,395 feet in 21 minutes, covering 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft touching down 641 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 6,022 nautical miles in 714 minutes, using 97,317 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, showcasing a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,332 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning with the heading of 240.0°. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 144 knots was well within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a good touchdown speed of 136 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 2,117 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was marked by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 scored 87.4%, reflecting a good balance of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment.
