Improve the landing
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,032 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,032 m of the 3,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 816 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a PMDG 777-200LR aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ouagadougou Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 824 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 240°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southeast of Ouagadougou, with the aircraft ascending from 2,061 feet above sea level to 39,549 feet, a total increase of 37,488 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles north of Safane Airport and lasted for 73 minutes, covering a distance of 630 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 18 miles southeast of Velingara, Senegal, descending from 40,024 feet to 1,374 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Osvaldo Vieira International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 199.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,209 meters, with a threshold speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was 399 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -327 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind was minimal at 0 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,950 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in approximately 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 847 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 114 minutes and a fuel consumption of 11,576 kilograms.
The PMDG 777-200LR aircraft successfully landed at GGOV Osvaldo Vieira International Airport, with a final approach from the north. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway at a heading of 199.0 degrees. The pilot executed a precise approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway and maintaining a steady speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 399 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 135 knots. The touchdown rate was firm, at -327 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0 degrees. There was no crosswind, and a slight tailwind of 1 knot was present. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 1,950 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, without overrunning the runway. 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 executed with precision and skill, and the pilot's performance was reflected in the high score of 91.8%. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's expertise combined to ensure a safe and successful landing at GGOV Osvaldo Vieira International Airport.
