Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 172 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 371 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,048 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 778 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN). The takeoff distance was 1,039 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from 359 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots each. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of KSAN, rising from 1,026 feet above sea level to 34,563 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,537 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 114 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 15 miles north of Niland Airport (KNII) and lasted 56 minutes, covering 404 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 12 miles south of Tavaputs Ranch Airport (UT09), rising from 35,151 feet above sea level to 36,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,848 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 11 miles south of Sandwash Backcountry Strip (SAND) and lasted 264 minutes, covering 2,225 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb at a specific location, rising from 37,579 feet above sea level to 38,917 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,338 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again at a different location and lasted 182 minutes, covering 1,578 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 39 miles west of Clifden Airport (EIIB) and lasted 21 minutes, covering 97 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 38,594 feet above sea level to 1,207 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,386 feet. The final approach to runway 24 at Shannon Airport (EINN) was made from the north-east, heading 232.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,166 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 at EINN was successful, with a touchdown point 358 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cooler, with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,396 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,469 nautical miles, taking 560 minutes, and the aircraft used 63,920 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER successfully landed at Shannon Airport, with a final approach score of 91.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,166 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 24, which has a length of 3,048 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision. The touchdown point was 358 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal but still within a safe margin.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -305 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach or landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions favorable. The total landing distance of 1,396 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
