Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 159 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 142 kt, 17 kt before the 159 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 159 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 685 m past the threshold, 228 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
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 1,919 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,919 m of the 3,222 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 685 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 03R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 157 kt and left the ground after traveling 833 m, which represented 23 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 33 °C with an 8 kt headwind from 040° and no crosswind.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south-west of Artemida, rising from 1,234 ft asl to 30,995 ft asl - a gain of 29,762 ft - over 12 minutes while covering 79 nm.
A brief level cruise began 12 miles south-east of Skyros and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft proceeded 13 nm.
A second climb segment started 16 miles north-east of Skyros, increasing altitude from 30,999 ft asl to 36,002 ft asl - a climb of 5,002 ft - in 5 minutes and traversing 40 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 25 miles south-west of Myrina, extending for 80 minutes and covering 606 nm.
A further climb began 1 mile south-west of Zdiar, lifting the aircraft from 36,003 ft asl to 36,996 ft asl - a rise of 993 ft - in 2 minutes and adding 13 nm to the flight path.
Subsequent level cruise started 1 mile north of Szlembark, lasting 66 minutes and encompassing 509 nm.
Descent commenced 7 miles south-west of EVSL Vitrupes lidlauks Salacgriva, descending from 37,000 ft asl to 1,432 ft asl - a loss of 35,568 ft - over 22 minutes while covering 118 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 090.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl.
Landing on runway 08 was executed with a threshold speed of 145 kt; touchdown occurred 273 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, a vertical speed of minus 240 fpm, and perfect runway alignment, while local weather reported a temperature of 23 °C, a 4 kt wind from 050°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
The rollout distance measured 1,843 m, representing 57 % of the runway length, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, traveling an additional 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,387 nm, required 198 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 23,421 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 established a final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport from the west, maintaining a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl. Local weather was 23 °C with wind 4 kt from 050°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 145 kt. The flare was executed without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 273 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed of 140 kt was a little fast and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 240 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out with a total landing distance of 1,843 m, representing 57 % of the 3,222 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the optimal value and aim to achieve touchdown within the designated zone to further shorten the landing roll.
