Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 150 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 171 kt against a rotation target of 150 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 150 kt.
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 control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,185 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,655 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The takeoff distance was 6,209 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching an altitude of 33,988 feet above sea level in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 7 miles south of Caseros, Argentina, and lasted for 547 minutes, covering a distance of 4,535 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 68 miles east of Harvey Cedars, New Jersey, and descending from 34,001 feet to 3,999 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, which started overhead Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles south of Brighton Beach, New York, and descending from 2,852 feet to 501 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 121.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 485 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 268 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -251 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 4,226 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,801 nautical miles, which was covered in 604 minutes, using a total of 153,421 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) on runway 13R. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 121.0° at 1 nautical mile and 485 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 268 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the designated area. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 4,226 feet was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown zone and alignment.
