Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,109 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,109 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 761 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from FTTJ N'Djamena International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 160 kt. The takeoff distance of 1,073 meters accounted for 38% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 22 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt.
Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft transitioned into its enroute climb phase, which began approximately 1 mile northeast of the departure airport. The climb from 1,956 feet above sea level to 37,994 feet above sea level was achieved in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 74 minutes and covering 552 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 29 miles southwest of Dogondoutchi, Niger, and lasted 20 minutes, with a descent of 35,975 feet and a distance of 116 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, DRRN Diori Hamani International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 09R from the west, aligning perfectly with the runway. The landing was executed at a threshold speed of 146 kt, with a touchdown point 350 meters beyond the touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed of 142 kt was slightly above the optimal value, the touchdown rate of -221 fpm was fair. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 791 nautical miles was achieved in 123 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 14,878 kg.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09R at DRRN Diori Hamani International Airport, a 2,986-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the west. The aircraft's descent was characterized by good approach quality, with a threshold height that was well-managed. The threshold speed of 146 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 350 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute was fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,033 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.6%, reflecting a well-executed approach and touchdown, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed.
