Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 759 m past the threshold, 302 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
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 2,160 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,160 m of the 3,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 759 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey with a taxiing period of 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 16, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 172 knots, achieving a takeoff distance of 2,890 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 32°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 150°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Yeni Suraxani, Baku City, Azerbaijan, and continued to ascend to 7,939 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,981 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, including a 2-minute period at 5 miles south-west of Turkan, Baku City, Azerbaijan, and a 76-minute segment at 35 miles north of Turkmenbashi International Airport, Turkmenistan. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was notable, with a total fuel consumption of 60,996 kilograms over the course of the flight. The flight distance of 4,159 nautical miles was covered in 483 minutes, with the aircraft experiencing various weather conditions, including temperature fluctuations and wind changes.
As the Boeing 777-300 approached its destination, Chubu Centrair International Airport (RJGG), it began its descent from 37,001 feet above sea level to 1,336 feet above ground level, a decrease of 35,665 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 was from the north, with a heading of 169.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. Although a go-around was initiated at 239 feet above ground level, the aircraft eventually landed safely on runway 18, with a touchdown point 345 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 2,082 meters, accounting for 60% of the runway length. Following a smooth taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft came to a stop, marking the end of its journey.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 18 at RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the north. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 148 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 143 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -282 fpm, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, with a 2 kt headwind and a negligible 2 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance of 2,082 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. 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 93.7% reflecting the minor deviations from the target threshold speed and touchdown speed.
