Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 130 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 152 kt, 22 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Side view — the last 1,782 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,782 m of the 2,846 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 441 m touchdown sits inside 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 17R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,006 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and climbing from 1,610 feet above sea level to 41,192 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,582 feet in 18 minutes and covering 132 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles east of Lone Star, Texas, and lasting 14 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles west of 3M9 Warren Muni Warren, Arkansas, and descending from 41,097 feet above sea level to 4,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,800 feet in 25 minutes and covering 154 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles southwest of 2TN4 Shoemaker-Shelby Forest Airport Millington, Tennessee, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles west of 2M8 Charles W Baker Millington, Tennessee, and descending from 4,143 feet above sea level to 1,552 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,591 feet in 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at KMEM Memphis International Airport was from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18R was successful, with a runway length of 2,846 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 440 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,713 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft took 7 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 436 nautical miles, taking 77 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,544 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at KMEM Memphis International Airport on runway 18R. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 99.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 129 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 440 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing, demonstrating a high level of skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 1,713 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200ER at KMEM Memphis International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and experience in executing a safe and efficient landing.
