Flight Score
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.
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 1,728 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,728 m of the 2,560 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,112 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 240 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Vijfhuizen, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, the Netherlands. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,020 feet above sea level to 33,985 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,966 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 43 miles northeast of Hemsby, a location in Norfolk, England. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 624 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,218 feet above sea level to 36,204 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,986 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles. The climb started at a location with coordinates Latitude: 54.0010828 and Longitude: -14.7828565.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a location with coordinates Latitude: 54.1204277 and Longitude: -15.5401432. This phase lasted for 189 minutes and covered a distance of 1,440 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 36,126 feet above sea level to 38,134 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,009 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles. The climb started 29 miles northwest of CCH4 Charlottetown Airport Charlottetown, a location in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 38 miles northwest of CCP4 Port Hope Simpson Airport Port Hope Simpson, a location in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This phase lasted for 130 minutes and covered a distance of 902 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Hopkinton, a location in Rhode Island, United States. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,085 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,788 feet.
The final approach to runway 22L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 211.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22L, which had a length of 2,560 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown point was 138 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were 2 and 1 knots
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 211.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 138 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 142 knots, which was a little faster than the desired speed. The touchdown rate was firm, measuring -308 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 1,645 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
