Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 180 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 24 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 792 m past the threshold, 335 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,732 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,732 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 792 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft used 1,945 m of runway (48 % of the available length) and lifted off at 183 kt; ambient temperature was 38 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 179°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile south-west of Paradise, Nevada, climbing from 3,108 ft asl to 32,972 ft asl - a gain of 29,864 ft - in 21 minutes while covering 148 nm.
A level cruise segment started 9 miles south of UT28 Sun Valley Estates Airport, Lund, Utah, and lasted 153 minutes, during which 1,313 nm were flown.
The second climb commenced 39 miles north of CYYW Armstrong Airport, Ontario, climbing from 33,004 ft asl to 34,992 ft asl - an increase of 1,988 ft - in 3 minutes and covering 29 nm.
Following that, a cruise leg began 29 miles south of CPS5 Miminiska Airport, Ontario, lasting 251 minutes and encompassing 2,110 nm.
A third climb was initiated at latitude 60.689348, longitude -25.9201314, rising from 35,000 ft asl to 36,992 ft asl - a gain of 1,992 ft - in 3 minutes over 30 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment started at latitude 60.5883613, longitude -24.8718905, and continued for 102 minutes, covering 865 nm.
Descent phase one began 1 mile south-east of Weston, Cheshire East, England, descending from 37,000 ft asl to 7,507 ft asl - a loss of 29,493 ft - in 14 minutes while traveling 105 nm.
A brief cruise followed, starting 1 mile west of Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, England, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nm.
Descent phase two started overhead Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, England, dropping from 6,911 ft asl to 1,384 ft asl - a decrease of 5,527 ft - in 6 minutes and spanning 18 nm.
The final approach to runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was flown from the west, on a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09L, which is 3,594 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 145 kt; touchdown was 388 m beyond the touchdown zone at 137 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 142 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.6 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 13 °C, wind 3 kt from 10°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,663 m (46 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 4,641 nm, took 568 (units as given), and consumed 77,393 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 executed a final approach to runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow from the west, maintaining a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl. Local weather was 13 °C with wind 3 kt at 10°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind, and the aircraft carried a final score of 92.3%.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the aircraft established the required threshold speed of 145 kt, meeting the performance criteria for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 388 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 137 kt described as good, and the vertical rate was smooth at minus 142 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,663 m, representing 46 % of the 3,594 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the touchdown point to reduce the 388 m overshoot and adjust the approach to keep the touchdown within the zone, which will also help improve centreline alignment and further raise the overall score.
