Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 60 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 60 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 684 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 500 ft gate: centreline 1.1° 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 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 684 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and commenced the take-off roll, covering a takeoff distance of 1,099 m which represented 30 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 16 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 210°, including a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
After departure, the aircraft entered the climb phase overhead NZAA, ascending from 1,026 ft asl to 1,555 ft asl - a gain of 529 ft - in 1 minute while traversing 4 nm.
Cruise commenced 3 miles south of NZAA and was maintained for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 12 nm at level flight.
During final approach to runway 23L, the descent proceeded from 1,384 ft agl to 88 ft agl in 102 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
The landing was executed on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The threshold height at 60 ft agl was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 145 kt was within expectations. Touchdown occurred 273 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 130 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 110 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 5.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was a temperature of 13 °C, wind 10 kt from 226°, with a 4 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,198 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 22nm, required 8 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,004 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F conducted the final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,384 ft agl to 88 ft agl in 102 seconds and earned points on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at a height of 60 ft agl, which was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 145 kt.
Touchdown occurred 273 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 130 kt that was judged good, a smooth touchdown rate of minus 110 fpm, and a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 5.1 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good; the total landing distance was 1,198 m, representing 33 % of the 3,671 m runway.
With a score of 94.5 %, the landing was strong; refining the touchdown point to reduce the 273 m overshoot and tightening lateral alignment to eliminate the 5.1 m deviation will bring performance even closer to the aim point and centreline.
