Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 86 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 86 ft, 41 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 2,553 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 669 m 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 34R at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 1,341 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead SeaTac in Washington, United States. It climbed from an altitude of 1,363 feet above sea level to 36,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,631 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southwest of Mercer Ranch Airport (WA00) in Alderdale, Washington, and lasted for 108 minutes, covering a distance of 941 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 6 miles north of Evelyn Sharp Field (KODX) in Ord, Nebraska. It climbed from 37,002 feet above sea level to 38,446 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,444 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 7 miles northwest of Greeley Municipal Airport (99Y) in Greeley, Nebraska, and lasted for 287 minutes, covering a distance of 2,341 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 55 miles southwest of Sandy Point Town in Saint Anne Sandy Point, Saint Kitts and Nevis. It descended from 38,999 feet above sea level to 1,314 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,684 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport (TFFR) was made from the west, heading 101.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 2,553 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -179 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 226°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,555 nautical miles, taking 447 minutes, and the aircraft used -12,501 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at TFFR Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 101.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 12, which has a length of 2,553 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the threshold. However, the threshold speed was good at 132 knots, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct speed when reaching the threshold.
The touchdown point was 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed was good at 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was also good at -179 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly off-center when touching down. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C and winds of 3 knots at 226°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which is relatively minimal. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the runway touchdown position.
