Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 163 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 41 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 82 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 82 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 985 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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 2,237 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,237 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 985 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 19L at ENGM Oslo Airport, covering approximately 1 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 19L, the take-off run was 1,450 m, representing 49 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 156 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 142°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-east of ENGM, with the aircraft ascending from 1,673 ft asl to 36,556 ft asl, a gain of 34,884 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 71 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 miles south-east of Tjome and lasted 84 minutes, during which 604 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent 1 started overhead Oberderdingen, descending from 36,999 ft asl to 27,016 ft asl, a loss of 9,983 ft in 5 minutes and covering 38 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed, beginning 2 miles south-west of Horb am Neckar and lasting 2 minutes for a distance of 11 nm.
Descent 2 was initiated 1 mile north-east of Villingendorf, with altitude decreasing from 26,988 ft asl to 5,228 ft asl, a reduction of 21,760 ft over 10 minutes and a ground track of 61 nm.
The next cruise phase started 1 mile north of Rheinfelden, lasting 7 minutes and covering 26 nm.
Descent 3 began 1 mile west of Wutoeschingen, dropping from 4,651 ft asl to 2,633 ft asl, a loss of 2,018 ft in 4 minutes while traveling 10 nm.
On final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport, the aircraft intercepted the glide path from the north-west on a heading of 137.0° at 4 nm and 1,221 ft agl, then descended from 1,274 ft agl to 81 ft agl in 99 seconds. Weather at the destination was 19 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 85°, including a 3 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component; the approach was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 14, which is 3,148 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 82 ft agl and a threshold speed of 143 kt. Touchdown was 562 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 134 fpm. The touchdown point was laterally offset by 17.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 2,150 m, representing 68 % of the runway.
During rollout, the aircraft’s centreline alignment deviated by 29.5 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 832 nm in 136 minutes and consumed 16,204 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The final descent covered 1,274 ft AGL to 81 ft AGL in 99 seconds and earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft was 82 ft AGL, which was significantly above the target height, while the threshold speed of 143 kt was recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 562 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 138 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of 3 fpm, described as perfect. The touchdown point was misaligned by 17.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 2,150 m, representing 68 % of the 3,148 m runway. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with wind 3 kt from 085°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned, drifting 29.5 m from the centreline before exiting the runway.
The 79.0 % score indicates solid performance; focus on maintaining centreline alignment through flare and rollout to reduce the 17.0 m touchdown offset and the 29.5 m rollout drift, and aim to place the touchdown point nearer the intended zone to keep alignment within limits.
