Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 159 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 142 kt, 17 kt before the 159 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 159 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 19 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 17 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,725 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,996 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,996 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 766 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Kotoka International Airport (DGAA) in Accra, Ghana, took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 777-300 then began its departure roll on runway 21, utilizing 964 meters, or 31% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30°C, with a gentle headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 200°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Accra, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,189 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,020 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 122 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 955 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 16 miles southwest of Kindamba Airport in the Republic of Congo, where the aircraft descended from 37,002 feet to 2,790 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase ensued 6 miles northeast of Kasangulu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Ndjili International Airport (FZAA) in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 58.0° at an altitude of 1,701 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was completed on the 3,291-meter runway, with the touchdown point located 356 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters. The total landing distance was 1,922 meters, or 58% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 1,190 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 165 minutes and a fuel consumption of 20,363 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 06 at FZAA Ndjili International Airport, marking the culmination of a well-executed approach from the south west. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a slight deviation from the target threshold height, touching down at 59 ft above ground level, which was 4 ft above the desired value. However, the threshold speed of 146 kt was satisfactory, demonstrating good control and adherence to the recommended landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 142 kt was slightly above the target, resulting in a touchdown rate of -189 fpm, which was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 356 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was also found to be misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,922 m, accounting for 58% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was rated 88.7%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown characteristics.
