Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 92 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 92 ft, 47 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 334 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 2,420 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 2.0° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,815 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,815 m of the 3,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 629 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER departed Amsterdam-Schiphol on runway 36L. The take-off roll was 1,837 m, 48 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 165 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 1 kt from 059°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind.
Initial climb reached 1,000 ft agl in 18 seconds, averaging 2,300 fpm and attaining 226 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 978 ft asl to 30,946 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 116 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-east of Vijfhuizen.
Cruise continued between 31,000 ft and 33,000 ft asl for 294 minutes, covering 2,488 nm, starting 2 miles north-east of Senden. A subsequent climb from 32,998 ft asl to 34,983 ft asl took 3 minutes over 26 nm, beginning 11 miles north-west of Gazojak. Level flight between 35,100 ft and 37,000 ft asl lasted 348 minutes, covering 2,994 nm, starting 23 miles north-east of Gazojak.
Descent began from 37,007 ft asl to 1,571 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 117 nm, starting overhead Daliang. On final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,616 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 90 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, centreline, speed, and wings level; sink rate and glideslope were not met at one gate each. The landing gear was lowered at 3,595 ft agl at 201 kt, and final flap position 6 was selected at 2,137 ft agl at 183 kt.
Touchdown occurred on runway 07C, whose length is 3,621 m. The threshold speed was 148 kt, and touchdown speed was 144 kt, noted as a little fast. The aircraft touched down 216 m beyond the touchdown zone with a firm rate of minus 335 fpm and very good alignment. The flare was described as great, starting early, and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,726 m, 48 % of the runway, with very good rollout alignment.
Local weather at Hong Kong was 29 °C with wind 1 kt from 029°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 5,754 nm in 702 minutes and used 91,689 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER conducted the final approach to runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport and was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high; the aircraft descended from 1,616 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 90 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 148 kt.
Touchdown occurred 205 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 144 kt, described as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 293 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout used a total landing distance of 1,726 m, representing 48 % of the 3,621 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect; local weather was 29 °C with wind 1 kt from 29°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
To improve the already strong 93.9 % score, focus on reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate and adjust the final approach speed to bring touchdown speed closer to the target VREF.
