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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 2,482 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,482 m of the 3,433 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,924 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Boston, Massachusetts, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey on runway 04R. After a taxiing period of 8 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles, the aircraft lifted off the ground, utilizing 1,595 meters of the runway, which accounted for 68% of its length. The takeoff speed of 193 knots was achieved, and the aircraft began its ascent into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 9°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 167 nautical miles in 21 minutes, covering an altitude increase of 31,736 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a prolonged level cruise, which lasted for 303 minutes and covered a distance of 2,781 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 32,998 feet to 34,985 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles. The second level cruise phase lasted for 345 minutes and covered a distance of 2,893 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, reducing its altitude from 34,993 feet to 8,897 feet in 20 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 777-300 approached its destination, Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (HAAB), it began its final approach to runway 07R from the west. The aircraft touched down on the runway, utilizing more than 50% of its available length, and achieved a touchdown speed of 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -263 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute. The total flight distance of 5,990 nautical miles was achieved in 700 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 95,408 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 07R at HAAB Addis Ababa Bole International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and adherence to the standard instrument approach procedure. The aircraft descended from 1,276 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the threshold, aligning itself with the runway centerline as it approached from the west at a heading of 74.0°. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 146 knots was also well within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft utilized more than 50% of the available runway, resulting in a touchdown point that was slightly beyond the optimal position. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was good, indicating that the pilots maintained control and managed the descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the flare. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
The Boeing 777-300 rolled out on the runway with a total distance of 2,405 meters, which accounted for 78% of the available runway length. Runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. The overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 86.6%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a calm wind, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
