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 206 m past the target, landing at 663 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 1,982 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,982 m of the 3,699 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 663 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 departed San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28L, utilizing 51% of the 3,381-meter runway to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,732 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 192 knots, with a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The local temperature was 16 degrees Celsius, and the wind direction was from 292 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead San Bruno, California, and continued to ascend to 30,987 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 23 minutes and covered 199 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 31,073 feet to 32,903 feet, before entering a prolonged level cruise phase that lasted for 309 minutes and covered 2,593 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple climb and level cruise phases, with the aircraft passing over various points in the United States, Greenland, and Norway.
The final approach to Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from 37,001 feet to 8,351 feet in 12 minutes. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase before beginning its final descent, which ended with a touchdown on runway 21L. The landing distance was 1,906 meters, utilizing 56% of the 3,403-meter runway. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 6,024 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 99,581 kilograms. The total flight time was 739 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 21L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 217.0°, aligning with the runway centerline, and descended from an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl) to a good threshold height. The threshold speed of 145 knots was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed good characteristics, with a speed of 137 knots and a descent rate of -169 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 251 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 0 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,906 meters, accounting for 56% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.4%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
