Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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 0.5 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 81 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 306 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 at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 03R, with a takeoff distance of 1,806 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 191 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Artemida, Attica, Greece, and reached an altitude of 31,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,667 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles northeast of Alacati, Izmir, Turkey, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, starting overhead Urla, Izmir, Turkey, which increased the altitude by 1,993 feet in 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles south of Kemalpasa, Izmir, Turkey, and lasting 170 minutes, covering 1,561 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, starting 32 miles north of Tejen, Ahal, Turkmenistan, which increased the altitude by 1,972 feet in 3 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 24 miles west of UT52 Dixie Medical Center Heliport St George, Mary, Turkmenistan, and lasting 224 minutes, covering 1,832 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, starting 9 miles east of VGEG Shah Amanat International Airport Chattogram, Chittagong, Bangladesh, which increased the altitude by 1,991 feet in 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 15 miles east of Bandarban, Chittagong, Bangladesh, and lasting 135 minutes, covering 938 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, starting 47 miles northwest of ZJIA Jialaishi Air Base Jialai, Hainan Sheng, China, which decreased the altitude by 30,831 feet in 14 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 8 miles south of ZJHK Haikou Meilan International Airport Haikou, Meilan, Hainan Sheng, China, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, starting 8 miles south of Xiuying, Hainan Sheng, China, which decreased the altitude by 4,504 feet in 7 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing began, with the aircraft descending from 1,165 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in 4 seconds. The touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good at 309 meters.
After touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, covering a distance of 515 meters and reaching an altitude of 55 feet above sea level. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,653 nautical miles, taking 588 minutes, and
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Haikou Meilan International Airport, achieving a score of 78.3%. The final approach to landing was conducted from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 1,165 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 36 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a mere 4 seconds, demonstrating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 144 knots, which was slightly above the optimal speed for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The touchdown distance of 309 meters was also satisfactory, showcasing the aircraft's ability to land safely and efficiently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 39 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing operation.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout at Haikou Meilan International Airport. At an altitude of 55 feet above sea level (asl), the aircraft traveled a distance of 515 meters, demonstrating a controlled and stable rollout. Overall, the landing operation was successful, with the aircraft landing safely and efficiently at Haikou Meilan International Airport.
