Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 6.7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 4.5°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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 188 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 359 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The roll
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 4,001 m runway.
Rolled from 149 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 6.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.8 m left, in 17 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 49 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 813 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,666 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,690 fpm on average to 813 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 20 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 39× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 9 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +7 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 139 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 58 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 693 m in, 388 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 780 fpm at 57 ft to 360 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.0° on the way down. Into 57 ft at 146 kt, 7 kt over the 139 kt approach speed, and 131 kt at touchdown.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 6.6 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 7.1 m left at the widest. 5 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 131 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 159° at 12 kt · 11 kt head · 5 kt across
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
Touched down 693 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 122 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 40 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 195 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 29 knots at a direction of 309 degrees.
The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 24 knots during takeoff. Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north-west of the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 907 feet above sea level to 33,479 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,573 feet in just 20 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south-east of Goycay, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 49 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,141 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with subsequent climb phases taking place over Sangeorgiu de Mures, Romania, and Latitude: 57.1062532, Longitude: -49.2401698. The aircraft also entered level cruise phases over Bobalna, Romania, and Latitude: 56.774256, Longitude: -50.9220896.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 7 miles north of MYAX Spanish Cay Airport, Spanish Cay, Bahamas. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 42,009 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 40,706 feet in just 21 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at MYNN Lynden Pindling International Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 135.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 14, which had a length of 3,329 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 275 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 160 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,205 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,295 nautical miles, with the flight taking 383 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 78,212 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
