Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 153 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 170 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 153 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 45 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 45 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 45 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,135 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,135 m of the 4,010 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 829 m past the threshold — beyond 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 24 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a takeoff distance of 1,547 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 309°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north-west of Aalsmeerderbrug, in the Netherlands. The climb took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,034 feet above sea level to 32,589 feet, an increase of 31,556 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered its first level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Rietberg, in Germany. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 234 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 32,733 feet to 34,716 feet, an increase of 1,982 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, this time overhead Straky, in the Czech Republic. This phase lasted for 163 minutes and covered a distance of 1,323 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, from 35,062 feet to 37,012 feet, an increase of 1,950 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time 6 miles south-west of Gardabani, in Georgia. This phase lasted for 164 minutes and covered a distance of 1,476 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, from 36,803 feet to 38,772 feet, an increase of 1,969 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, this time 7 miles south-west of Kegen Airport, in Kazakhstan. This phase lasted for 271 minutes and covered a distance of 2,032 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north-west of Changzhou, in China. The descent took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,726 feet to 3,229 feet, a decrease of 35,497 feet. The descent covered a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time 4 miles north-east of Yangpu Airport, in China. This phase lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles east of Yangpu Airport. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 2,959 feet to 1,377 feet, a decrease of 1,582 feet. The descent covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 17L at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, from the north, heading 162.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,346 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 406 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -152 feet per minute, which was also good. The
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport on runway 17L, achieving an overall score of 87.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 406 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the optimal area. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The threshold height at 75 feet agl was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 125 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,047 meters was 51% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target.
