Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 275 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 255 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,959 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), runway 16L, and began its takeoff roll. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 187 kt, clearing the runway threshold at 1,798 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C, a wind speed of 2 kt at 209°, resulting in a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it transitioned through several phases of flight. The enroute climb phase started approximately 1 mile southwest of SeaTac, where the aircraft ascended from 1,304 ft to 31,760 ft in 16 minutes, covering 101 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 120 minutes and covered 878 nm. This was followed by a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft reaching its final cruising altitude of 35,546 ft. The descent phase began approximately 43 miles east of Kashima-shi, Japan, where the aircraft descended from 35,874 ft to 8,031 ft in 13 minutes, covering 90 nm. The final approach and landing phase was completed on runway 16L at Tokyo Haneda International Airport (RJTT), with a touchdown speed of 138 kt and a touchdown rate of -292 fpm.
The flight was completed with a total landing distance of 1,719 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 4,421 nm, with a total flight time of 603 minutes and a fuel consumption of 83,769 kg. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 °C, a wind speed of 6 kt at 179°, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,331 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the heading of 150.0°. The approach was executed with precision, allowing the aircraft to maintain a good threshold height and speed of 146 knots as it crossed the threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 138 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -292 feet per minute (fpm) was slightly below the optimal rate, categorizing it as fair. The touchdown point was located 270 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of accuracy in the aircraft's approach and landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,719 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a headwind of 5 knots, did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%.
