Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 143 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 150 kt, 7 kt above the 143 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 143 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 2,325 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,325 m of the 3,356 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 527 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 13 at FSIA Seychelles International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,899 meters, which accounted for 81% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 183 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots at 120 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Seychelles, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,021 feet above sea level to 34,337 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,316 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 88 miles north east of FSSF Frégate Island Airport, and it lasted for 179 minutes, covering a distance of 1,413 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 86 miles south west of Panadura, Sri Lanka. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 34,121 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,827 feet. The final approach to runway 22 at VCBI Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 217.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 was successful, with the touchdown point being 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 145 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 260 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,637 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 229 minutes. The aircraft used 30,004 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at VCBI Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport, with a final approach score of 97.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 3,356 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing height. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 150 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was slightly faster than desired upon touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and winds of 11 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,247 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance. The deviations from the target values were minor, and the aircraft was able to maintain good control throughout the landing phase.
