Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 84 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 84 ft, 39 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 317 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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.
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 1,585 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,585 m of the 3,599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 178 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,166 meters accounted for 68% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground at a height of 953 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, navigating through the skies over the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Spain. The first enroute climb started 1 mile north west of Aalsmeerderbrug, with the aircraft ascending to 23,000 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. The flight continued with a series of level cruises and climbs, with the final climb taking place 2 miles east of Bir Moghrein Airport in Mauritania, where the aircraft reached a cruising altitude of 37,986 feet above sea level. The enroute descent started 4 miles north of Pikine in Senegal, with the aircraft descending to 1,320 feet above sea level in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Banjul International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 32 from the south east, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,230 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 141 knots and a distance of 344 meters. The total landing distance of 1,505 meters accounted for 42% of the runway length, with the runway rollout alignment being very good. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 2,655 nautical miles and consuming 42,592 kilograms of fuel in the process, which took a total of 359 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 32 at GBYD Banjul International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 kt, within acceptable parameters. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 344 m was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 141 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -294 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.8 m, which may be attributed to the crosswind component of 3 kt. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, were generally favorable for the landing. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a steady descent and a well-controlled rate of descent.
The rollout phase was notable for its excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,505 m, accounting for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 95.9%. While there were some minor deviations from optimal performance, the crew's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were demonstrated to be effective in achieving a safe and controlled landing.
