Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 155 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 177 kt against a rotation target of 155 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 155 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 270 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 826 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), with a takeoff distance of 1,862 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 177 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a series of enroute climbs and level cruises.
The first enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, where the aircraft ascended from 969 feet above sea level to 34,885 feet, an increase of 33,916 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 196 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 316 minutes, covering a distance of 2,708 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 34,995 feet to 36,935 feet, an increase of 1,940 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The subsequent enroute level cruise lasted for 173 minutes, covering a distance of 1,369 nautical miles. Another enroute climb took place 31 miles south of SPOY Atico Airport Atico, Arequipa, Peru, where the aircraft ascended from 37,001 feet to 38,995 feet, an increase of 1,994 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise lasted for 150 minutes, covering a distance of 1,209 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 10 miles southeast of SABY Agroservicios Airport Arroyo Seco, Santa Fe Province, Argentina. The descent from 38,988 feet to 1,262 feet took 30 minutes, covering a distance of 160 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 103.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,192 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,157 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the total flight distance was 5,710 nautical miles, taking a total of 711 minutes, and the aircraft used 82,885 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 103.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 408 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a relatively stable environment for the landing.
The runway length at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport is 3,288 meters, and the aircraft utilized only 35% of this length to come to a stop, covering a total distance of 1,157 meters. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a very good runway rollout alignment. However, the touchdown rate could be improved to achieve a more stable and controlled descent.
