Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 154 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 174 kt against a rotation target of 154 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 154 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,662 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,662 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 896 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 35 at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, Hawaii. The takeoff distance was 1,849 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 70°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport. The climb took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,017 feet above sea level to 31,991 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,974 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 53 miles north of FM03 Hawaii Moving Carrier - CVN78. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 283 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started at a latitude of 17.0247925 and a longitude of -161.5486464. This climb took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 32,000 feet above sea level to 33,991 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,990 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 16.7109626 and a longitude of -161.9341778. This phase lasted for 171 minutes and covered a distance of 1,363 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started at a latitude of 0.8019483 and a longitude of -178.4103164. This climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,171 feet above sea level to 35,499 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,328 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 0.6266939 and a longitude of -178.5762056. This phase lasted for 153 minutes and covered a distance of 1,267 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started 15 miles northeast of NVSS Santo Pekoa International Airport Luganville. This climb took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 36,000 feet above sea level to 38,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,000 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles southwest of Luganville. This phase lasted for 215 minutes and covered a distance of 1,666 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 10 miles southwest of YPOK Porepunkah Airport Mount Beauty. The descent took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,996 feet above sea level to 1,740 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,256 feet. The descent covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 172.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level. The landing was made on
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 172.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good approach speed, touching down at 127 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, registering at -467 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the aircraft could have been slowed down more effectively before touchdown, potentially reducing the impact on the landing gear. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from 169°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown point was 481 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may be attributed to the aircraft's speed and the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance. Nevertheless, the total landing distance of 1,582 meters, which accounts for 43% of the runway length, is within acceptable limits.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through a controlled and safe landing.
