Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 1,742 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,742 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, then departed from runway 34L at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,483 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was no headwind, but a crosswind of 5 knots was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northwest of KDEN Denver International Airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 200 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 6,364 feet above sea level to 37,360 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 17 miles east of 9NE3 Davis Ranch Airport in Hyannis, Nebraska. This phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 1,426 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 22 miles south of CCP6 Caniapiscau Airport in Caniapiscau, Quebec, Canada. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 35,114 feet to 37,119 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 24 miles southeast of CTP4 Lac Pau (Caniapiscau) Seaplane Base in Fermont, Quebec, Canada. This phase lasted for 69 minutes and covered a distance of 2,291 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,422 feet to 1,363 feet.
The final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 3,591 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. There was a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,660 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,073 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 44,346 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner successfully landed at London Heathrow Airport's runway 27R, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 351 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -319 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance of 1,660 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was commendable, with only minor areas for improvement.
