Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 32 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 32 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 32 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,657 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,657 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 787-10 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL), with a takeoff distance of 2,026 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 289°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south of Makati City, where the aircraft ascended from 1,110 feet above sea level to 11,487 feet, an increase of 10,378 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles, starting 1 mile north of Malanday. However, this was followed by another climb phase, which began 1 mile southeast of Norzagaray, where the aircraft ascended from 12,007 feet to 32,892 feet, an increase of 20,884 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 122 minutes, covering a distance of 1,159 nautical miles, starting 14 miles southwest of Casiguran Airport. This was followed by another climb phase, which began at a specific latitude and longitude, where the aircraft ascended from 33,085 feet to 37,078 feet, an increase of 3,993 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 424 minutes, covering a distance of 3,634 nautical miles, starting at a specific latitude and longitude. This was followed by another climb phase, which began at a specific latitude and longitude, where the aircraft ascended from 37,039 feet to 40,469 feet, an increase of 3,431 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 80 minutes, covering a distance of 676 nautical miles, starting at a specific latitude and longitude. However, this was followed by a descent phase, which began 46 miles southwest of Tofino, where the aircraft descended from 40,821 feet to 1,290 feet, a decrease of 39,531 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) was made from the west, with a heading of 100.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which had a length of 3,284 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -196 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 120°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,576 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The post-landing taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately
The Boeing 787-10 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08R, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 149 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 101 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation is considered minor. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot, which had a negligible impact on the landing. The runway length of 3,284 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,576 meters, which is approximately 48% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good threshold height, speed, and touchdown rate, as well as a smooth and controlled rollout. The minor deviation from the touchdown zone and the relatively short landing distance are the only areas for improvement, but overall, the landing was considered successful.
