Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 15 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.4° of bank in the first climb segment and 4.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 2 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 2 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,589 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,589 m of the 3,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 719 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 22R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) in New York, United States. The takeoff distance was 895 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 201 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 296°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Far Rockaway, New York. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,089 feet above sea level to 31,649 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Archbald, Pennsylvania. This phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 287 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 8 miles north of Pinder Rodney, Ontario, Canada. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 31,973 feet to 33,444 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles southeast of Petrolia, Ontario, Canada. This phase lasted for 257 minutes and covered a distance of 1,853 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting overhead Capitola, California. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,207 feet to 36,148 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south of Davenport, California. This phase lasted for 260 minutes and covered a distance of 1,937 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 71 miles northeast of Hana, Hawaii. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,019 feet to 1,284 feet.
The final approach to runway 17 at Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (PHKO) was made from the north, with a heading of 185.0° and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 3,360 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 307 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 150°.
The total landing distance was 1,513 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,314 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 609 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 81,839 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, with a score of 86.7%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good. The touchdown point was located 307 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the final approach. Nevertheless, the threshold speed of 145 knots was within the acceptable range. The runway length of 3,360 meters provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. These deviations may have been due to factors such as wind shear or pilot error.
Despite these minor issues, the total landing distance of 1,513 meters was within 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 86.7% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
