Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 790 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 8 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 14 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.6° against the runway's 3° and centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,134 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft used 2,174 m of runway (90 % of the available length) and lifted off at 181 kt; local conditions were 9 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 310°, giving a 12 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began overhead Banksia, climbing from 1,060 ft asl to 33,975 ft asl-a gain of 32,914 ft-in 23 minutes while traversing 126 nm.
Level cruise commenced 2 mi south of Mullion Creek and continued for 367 minutes, during which 2,518 nm were covered.
A second climb started 4 mi southeast of WART Trunojoyo Airport, raising the aircraft from 34,168 ft asl to 35,999 ft asl (an increase of 1,830 ft) in 3 minutes over 28 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment began 25 mi northwest of WART, lasting 100 minutes and covering 795 nm.
Descent commenced 7 mi northwest of Kelapa Sawit, lowering the aircraft from 35,999 ft asl to 35,185 ft asl (a loss of 815 ft) in 2 minutes while traveling 8 nm.
A brief climb followed 10 mi south of Kluang, gaining 1,721 ft from 35,523 ft asl to 37,243 ft asl in 2 minutes over 7 nm.
The aircraft then descended 7 mi south of Kluang, dropping from 34,935 ft asl to 20,841 ft asl-a loss of 14,093 ft-in 7 minutes and covering 22 nm.
A short cruise segment began 7 mi northwest of Yong Peng, lasting 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
Climb resumed 7 mi northwest of Yong Peng, increasing altitude from 20,841 ft asl to 21,458 ft asl (616 ft) in 2 minutes across 2 nm.
The next cruise phase started 7 mi southwest of Chaah, lasting 8 minutes and spanning 46 nm.
Descent began 11 mi east of Parit Raja, descending from 20,300 ft asl to 7,972 ft asl (12,328 ft) in 12 minutes while covering 60 nm.
A brief cruise followed 4 mi north of Tangkak, lasting 3 minutes and covering 4 nm.
Descent continued 7 mi north of Tangkak, dropping from 7,192 ft asl to 4,525 ft asl (2,668 ft) in 3 minutes over 11 nm.
Cruise resumed 7 mi east of Tampin for 2 minutes, covering 7 nm.
Climb was performed 7 mi north of Tampin, raising the aircraft from 4,621 ft asl to 6,187 ft asl (1,566 ft) in 2 minutes across 8 nm.
A further cruise segment began 7 mi southwest of Kuala Pilah, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Descent started 5 mi east of Seremban, decreasing altitude from 6,311 ft asl to 3,601 ft asl (2,710 ft) in 3 minutes while traveling 14 nm.
Cruise continued 3 mi south of Semenyih for 3 minutes, covering 12 nm.
Descent began 3 mi northwest of Putrajaya, lowering the aircraft from 3,023 ft asl to 1,324 ft asl (1,699 ft) in 3 minutes over 9 nm.
A final cruise segment started 2 mi southwest of WMPU Putrajaya Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 14L at Kuala Lumpur International Airport from the northwest, on a heading of 146.0° at 3 nm and 1,071 ft agl.
Landing on runway 14L (length 4,134 m) was achieved with a threshold speed of 148 kt; touchdown occurred 156 m beyond the touchdown zone at 144 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 334 fpm and a lateral deviation of 12.7 m from the centreline. Local weather was 31 °C, wind 2 kt from 11°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component. The total landing roll measured 1,281 m (31 % of runway) and rollout alignment was off by 14.6 m from centreline.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 3,697 nm, lasted 556 minutes, and consumed 57,224 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A330-900 established a final approach to runway 14L at WMKK from the north-west on a heading of 146.0° at 3 NM and 1,071 ft agl, with temperature 31 °C, wind 2 kt from 11°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind. Good threshold height was observed, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 148 kt.
During the flare the aircraft maintained the good threshold height and prepared for touchdown, with the approach speed remaining slightly above the intended value.
Touchdown occurred 156 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 144 kt, which was a little fast, and the rate of descent was firm at minus 334 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 12.7 m from the centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,281 m, representing 31 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 m from the centreline.
Refine the approach to achieve the target touchdown speed of 148 kt to reduce the slight excess and improve flare timing, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment through the flare to keep the touchdown point within the intended zone and minimise rollout drift.
