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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 203 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,592 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,592 m of the 4,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey on runway 16R, taking 8 minutes to taxi from the parking area to the runway's threshold, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lifted off, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 208 knots, utilizing 66% of the 2,582-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 20 knots, which contributed to a smooth takeoff.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile northwest of Kurnell, with the aircraft ascending from 1,031 feet above sea level to 34,969 feet, a vertical increase of 33,938 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 150 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 34,969 feet, as it traversed 4,159 nautical miles over 506 minutes, passing overhead Bombira in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The enroute descent phase began 59 miles southeast of Asahi in Chiba-ken, Japan, with the aircraft descending from 34,052 feet to 1,414 feet in 23 minutes and covering 115 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Narita International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 initiated its final approach to runway 16R from the northwest, maintaining a heading of 150.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 4,173-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 423 meters, slightly exceeding the threshold speed of 150 knots. The touchdown speed of 148 knots was a little fast, but the runway touchdown position was only 4.8 meters off-centerline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 4,434 nautical miles was completed in 569 minutes, utilizing 84,491 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 16R at RJAA Narita International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 150 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 148 kt, which was slightly above the desired value. The touchdown distance of 423 m was within acceptable limits, and the firm touchdown rate of -356 fpm indicated a controlled impact.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the presence of a 2 kt crosswind and a 10 kt tailwind. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 340 °, were generally favorable for the landing. The total landing distance of 1,524 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase of the landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.6% reflecting the minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and runway alignment.
