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 6.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 665 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
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 1,435 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 2,086 m, which represents 57 % of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at 164 kt while the ambient temperature was 15 °C, the wind was 19 kt from 267°, providing a 5 kt cross-wind component and an 18 kt head-wind component.
Climb began approximately one mile south-west of the airport, with the airplane accelerating from 954 ft asl to 1,446 ft asl, an altitude gain of 492 ft achieved in one minute while covering four nautical miles.
Level cruise was established three miles south of NZAA and persisted for four minutes, during which the aircraft traversed twelve nautical miles at the assigned altitude.
During the final approach to runway 23L, the descent was executed from 1,412 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 102 seconds, and the flight was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
The landing on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m, featured a threshold speed of 143 kt. Touchdown occurred 242 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 190 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.9 m from the centreline, and the total landing roll measured 1,034 m, equivalent to 28 % of the runway; runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
Rollout was followed by a taxi-in to the parking area that lasted less than one minute and covered less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 22 nm, required approximately seven minutes of flight time, and consumed 1,188 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F began its final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport with a descent from 1,412 ft AGL to 71 ft AGL over 102 seconds. At the 1,000-ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high, despite the aircraft remaining on the correct glide path to the runway.
At threshold the aircraft established a good threshold speed of 143 kt and commenced the flare. The flare produced a touchdown point 242 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a good touchdown speed of 131 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 190 fpm. The touchdown position was slightly off centreline by 3.9 m.
The aircraft touched down with the parameters noted above and maintained the recorded speed and rate through the initial roll. The slight lateral deviation of 3.9 m from centreline was the only misalignment observed at touchdown.
Rollout proceeded with perfect runway alignment and the aircraft decelerated to a stop after traveling 1,034 m, representing 28 % of the 3,671 m runway length. Local conditions were 15 °C, wind 19 kt from 267°, including a 5 kt crosswind component and an 18 kt headwind.
Focus on achieving a stabilized approach by controlling sink rate before the 1,000-ft gate, and refine lateral guidance to keep touchdown within a tighter centreline tolerance. These adjustments will convert the already high 95.8 % score into an even more consistent performance.
