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 69 ft 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
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 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 6,106 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,106 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,536 ft 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 7,185 feet, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 58°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Horton, where the aircraft climbed from 1,133 feet above sea level (asl) to 6,002 ft asl, an increase of 4,869 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Waltham St Lawrence and lasted 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 1 mile east of Hampstead Norreys, where it climbed from 5,980 ft asl to 33,933 ft asl, an increase of 27,952 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles south east of Llangadog and lasted 52 minutes, covering 421 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb at a specific latitude and longitude, where it climbed from 33,770 ft asl to 35,760 ft asl, an increase of 1,990 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at another specific latitude and longitude and lasted 271 minutes, covering 1,837 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb at a specific latitude and longitude, where it climbed from 35,494 ft asl to 37,470 ft asl, an increase of 1,976 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at another specific latitude and longitude and lasted 224 minutes, covering 1,317 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 48 miles east of Hutchinson Island South, where it descended from 38,136 ft asl to 1,289 ft asl, a decrease of 36,846 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was from the east, heading 267.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown point 1,179 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 5,849 feet, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,857 nautical miles, taking 615 minutes, and the aircraft used 156,728 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 27, achieving an overall score of 88.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 56 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 138 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 1,179 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, signifying a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a relatively steep descent, but still within the safe limits. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline, which may pose a minor concern for the aircraft's stability during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline.
The total landing distance of 5,849 feet was 52% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, which may require further investigation to determine the cause.
Overall, the landing was successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. Further analysis and training may be necessary to improve the aircraft's performance and reduce the risk of future deviations.
