Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 184 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 143 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 151 kt against a target of 143 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 143 kt at the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,498 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,498 ft of the 13,554 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,043 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 180 kt and left the runway after traveling 7,975 ft, which represented 72 % of the available length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 103 °F, wind 2 kt from 040°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced one mile south of Al Farwaniyah, climbing from 1,103 ft asl to 34,929 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,826 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 132 nm.
Level cruise began six miles west of OIBQ Khark Airport and continued for 162 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,445 nm at cruise altitude.
A subsequent climb started 11 nm south-east of Agar, raising the aircraft from 35,000 ft asl to 36,980 ft asl, a gain of 1,980 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 29 nm.
The next cruise segment originated three miles north-east of Shujalpur and lasted 161 minutes, during which 1,366 nm were traversed at the higher cruise level.
Descent began 34 nm north-west of Bo Phloi, descending from 37,000 ft asl to 1,296 ft asl, a loss of 35,705 ft in 23 minutes while covering 135 nm.
On final approach to runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport (VTBS), the aircraft descended from 1,316 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 91 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 19L, which is 13,554 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 152 kt. The touchdown point was 665 ft beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed was 141 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 143 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect, and local weather reported a temperature of 81 °F, wind 2 kt from 160°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The rollout distance measured 6,224 ft, representing 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 6 minutes, covering a further 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 3,119 nm, required 392 minutes of flight time, and consumed 111,506 lbs of fuel.
