Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 7.3°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink is fully arrested before the wheels meet the runway.
What happened: Landing g force ran high at 1.8 g through the flare, and the touchdown followed through firm at 1.7 g.
Watch for: Watch the g meter at touchdown against the normal touchdown rate band.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The roll
A quick rotation
The nose came up at 162 kt against the 157 kt rotate speed, and rose at 3.4° a second, faster than the 2 to 3 airliners use.
The rotation started on speed but the nose came up quickly. A fast pull raises the nose faster than the aircraft can lift off, which brings the tail closer to the runway. Pull smoothly at the normal rate for this aircraft and let it fly off at its own attitude.
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 2,638 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 9.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.6 m right, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 51 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 906 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 667 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 685 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,610 fpm on average to 906 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.
The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 12.1°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.
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 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 152 kt.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: no landing flap all the way and slow until 1.0 nm.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 60 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 52× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 4 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 38 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 23 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.6 nm, then slow to 1.0 nm (up to −6 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
The flare mostly held the target profile
The flare took all the sink out 2 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 425 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 737 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.
Touchdown
Rollout
Taxi in
Side view — the last 1,888 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 58 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 11 ft; ballooned 5 ft from 0 ft. Touched down 737 m in, 432 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,888 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 150 fpm before coming down at 250 fpm to touch. The nose went down 3.1° on the way down. Into the flare at 148 kt, 4 kt under the 152 kt approach speed, and 141 kt at touchdown.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,888 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline and drifted to 4.8 m right on the rollout, back to 2.1 m right by the end. No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 255° at 3 kt · 3 kt head · 0 kt across
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
Touched down 737 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 138 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 39 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The 777-200LR taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at KJFK, a movement that lasted 15 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Take-off roll on runway 22R used 1,348 m, which is 51 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 162 kt. Local weather at departure was 14 °C with wind 5 kt from 302°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and no headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 31 seconds, averaging 1,587 fpm and reaching 179 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,006 ft asl to 30,981 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 98 nm and passing overhead Arverne.
Cruise continued at 31,000 ft asl for 128 minutes, covering 1,109 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of CT44 Ripley Field Litchfield. A subsequent climb from 31,231 ft asl to 32,999 ft asl lasted 2 minutes and covered 11 nm, starting 79 miles north-east of CDY3 Fogo Airport.
The aircraft then level-flew between 33,000 ft asl and 35,000 ft asl for 270 minutes, covering 2,152 nm, beginning 91 miles north-east of CDY3 Fogo Airport.
Descent from 35,005 ft asl to 5,044 ft asl took 18 minutes over 125 nm, starting 1 mile west of Sprimont. A level segment at 4,100 ft asl lasted 15 minutes and covered 59 nm, beginning overhead EMRA Maurice Rose Airfield Frankfurt.
The next descent from 3,989 ft asl to 1,746 ft asl lasted 3 minutes over 9 nm, starting 1 mile south-west of Hanau am Main.
Final approach to runway 25C at EDDF began with a descent from 1,447 ft agl to 131 ft agl in 99 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; they were not met for landing flap and on-speed (at one gate).
Landing on runway 25C, which is 3,986 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 58 ft agl, slightly above target, and a threshold speed of 147 kt, judged good. The flare was described as very good; the aircraft ran out of speed in the flare. Touchdown was 319 m beyond the touchdown zone, at 141 kt, rated good, with a rate of -254 fpm, rated fair. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect, and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,808 m, 45 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 9 °C with wind 3 kt from 255°, giving a 3 kt headwind and no crosswind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 3,573 nm in 473 minutes and used 61,689 kg of fuel.
