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 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 335 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777F taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGSS London Stansted Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 1,223 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 174 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the tailwind was a mere 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of Birchanger, Essex, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,295 feet above sea level to 4,895 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,600 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Hatfield Heath, Essex, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb, this time overhead Kelvedon Hatch, Essex, England, where it climbed from 5,065 feet above sea level to 31,566 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,500 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 12 miles north west of Grand-Fort-Philippe, Hauts-de-France, France, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 268 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south west of Nidderau, Hessen, Germany. The descent from 31,315 feet above sea level to 1,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,598 feet in 25 minutes, covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,366 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 336 meters, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots.
However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -568 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 350 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,336 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.5 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 371 nautical miles, taking 86 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,504 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R, achieving an overall score of 85.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,366 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 140 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -568 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The landing was conducted in good weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
Despite the good overall performance, there were some issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by a combination of factors, including the initial touchdown position and the aircraft's braking performance.
The total landing distance of 1,336 meters was 48% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown, but the misaligned rollout may have contributed to a slightly longer than necessary stopping distance. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach path alignment and rollout performance.
