Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 103 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 103 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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 97 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 97 ft, 52 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 6,313 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,313 ft of the 10,975 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,411 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 21 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 13R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The takeoff distance was 7,197 feet, which was 78% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 81°F and winds of 4 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from KJFK, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Inwood, New York. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,055 feet above sea level to 35,145 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,089 feet.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Enfield, Connecticut, and lasted for 278 minutes, covering a distance of 2,751 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Llan-non, County of Ceredigion, Wales. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,144 feet above sea level to 7,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,044 feet.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, this time starting overhead Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, England, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Watford, Hertfordshire, England, and took 6 minutes to descend from 6,999 feet above sea level to 1,394 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,605 feet.
The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the east, heading 270.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,305 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27L, which had a length of 10,975 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,045 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70°F and winds of 4 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,047 feet, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,016 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 352 minutes. The aircraft used 91,303 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,047 feet was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down 1,045 feet beyond the touchdown zone.
