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 6.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 1.9 ft, 9.3 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,180 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,180 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 720 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft, departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) on runway 36L. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Upon departure, the aircraft lifted off the runway at a speed of 172 knots, with a takeoff distance of 1,257 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile north-east of Vijfhuizen, Netherlands, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,014 feet above sea level to 33,181 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,167 feet, in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles south of Laer, Germany, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering a distance of 621 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,133 feet above sea level to 35,148 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,015 feet, in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles, approximately 2 miles north of Nyiracsad, Hungary.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 1 mile north-east of Balc, Romania, and lasted for 174 minutes, covering a distance of 1,470 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,876 feet above sea level to 36,812 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,936 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles, approximately 26 miles south-east of Azna, Iran.
The enroute level cruise phase started again, this time 30 miles south-west of OICZ Aligoodarz Airport, Aligudarz, Iran, and lasted for 57 minutes, covering a distance of 460 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 16 miles south-west of OIBK Kish International Airport, Kish Island, Iran, and descended from 36,558 feet above sea level to 1,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,217 feet, in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12R at OMDB Dubai International Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 121.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on runway 12R, which had a length of 3,595 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,106 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing process from the runway to
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) on runway 12R, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a good threshold height and speed of 147 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 311 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 143 knots. Although the touchdown speed was within acceptable limits, the touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired, which could be attributed to various factors such as airspeed, altitude, or pilot technique.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
Overall, the Boeing 777F aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing phase, with a good threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway rollout alignment. However, the slightly misaligned touchdown position and fair touchdown rate indicate areas for improvement in terms of pilot technique and aircraft performance.
