Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 299 m past the target, landing at 756 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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 1,949 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,949 m of the 3,806 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 756 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway 16L took 8 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,965-meter runway, which was utilized for 54% of its takeoff distance. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 191 knots, with a local temperature of 11°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 100 nautical miles in 15 minutes, ascending from 1,302 feet above sea level to 30,900 feet. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for extended periods. Notably, the aircraft climbed to 33,002 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, and later reached 36,980 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was evident in its ability to cover a total distance of 5,743 nautical miles, utilizing 97,163 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 began its descent into Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, a 21-minute process that saw the aircraft descend from 37,000 feet to 2,841 feet above sea level, covering 117 nautical miles. The final approach was executed from the north, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway 17R. The aircraft landed smoothly, touching down 343 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 knots. The total landing distance was 1,871 meters, utilizing 49% of the runway. Following a brief taxiing period, the aircraft came to a stop, marking the end of a successful flight.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 17R at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 177.0° as it descended from 1,280 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a stable and consistent rate of descent, ultimately resulting in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The touchdown point was located 343 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 0 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 1,871 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.2%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were demonstrated to be within the acceptable limits, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
