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 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 1.6 ft, 9.6 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,890 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,890 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Boeing 777-300 flight originated from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It taxied from the parking to the runway for nine minutes, covering a distance of four nautical miles. Departure roll began on runway 08, and the aircraft lifted off at 72% of the runway's length, reaching a takeoff speed of 185 knots.
The local weather conditions were challenging, with a temperature of 38°C and a wind of 14 knots blowing from the east-southeast, resulting in a moderate crosswind. However, a tailwind of just 1 knot minimized its effect.
As the aircraft began its Enroute climb, it started two miles northeast of Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, ascending from 1,034 feet above sea level to 36,402 feet, an increase of 35,367 feet. This climb covered a distance of 151 nautical miles and took 21 minutes.
The Enroute level cruise started at a specific latitude and longitude, lasting 190 minutes and covering 1,439 nautical miles. This steady cruise allowed the aircraft to make the most efficient use of its resources, minimizing fuel consumption.
The Enroute descent started approximately one mile northwest of Perry, New York, and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles in 26 minutes. The aircraft descended a staggering 33,260 feet from 35,121 feet above sea level to 1,861 feet.
Final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport involved flying from the northeast, heading 226.0° at 4 nautical miles from the airport and 1,300 feet above the ground. The landing, however, had a couple of challenges. Although the threshold height was above target, and the threshold speed was good, the touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 150 knots.
The local weather during the landing was much milder, with a temperature of 20°C and a moderate tailwind of 6 knots. However, crosswinds still presented a challenge, with a crosswind of 5 knots. The aircraft landed on a runway with a length of 3,195 meters and touched down at 57% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was hard at -454 feet per minute, making the flight smooth for a short while before finally touching down.
After a perfectly aligned runway touchdown, the plane taxied to the parking for 13 minutes, covering two nautical miles. Upon analyzing the flight's data, it is evident that the aircraft covered a total distance of 1,694 nautical miles and used 36,100 kilograms of fuel, utilizing 261 minutes of flight time.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft has made a successful landing at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, albeit with some minor discrepancies. The final approach to runway 23 from the northeast at a heading of 226.0° began at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level. The aircraft managed to maintain a good rate of descent throughout the approach, resulting in a threshold speed of 152 kt upon reaching the runway.
However, it was noted that the threshold height at 69 ft agl was above the target, indicating a slight overshoot. This may have been due to an overly aggressive descent rate or inadequate control input from the pilots. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 150 kt was slightly higher than the target, indicating a possible hard touchdown. The aircraft landed 80 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is within an acceptable range for a commercial airliner.
Upon further examination, it is reported that the touchdown rate was hard at -454 fpm, which is a relatively high rate for a safe landing. This high touchdown rate was likely a result of the fast touchdown speed and the aircraft's inability to fully arrest its descent upon touchdown.
Despite these issues, the landing was successful in terms of runway touchdown alignment, which was reported to be perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and winds of 8 kt at 10°, resulting in a relatively light crosswind and tailwind of 5 and 6 kt, respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,818 m represents 57% of the available runway, which is slightly above the recommended value. Nevertheless, it was noted that the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability upon rollout.
Overall, while the landing had some minor issues, it was successful and indicates that the pilots and aircraft are competent to operate safely in the given environment. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate, to enhance the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
