Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.2° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,060 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 944 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC) took approximately 10 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-300 then began its departure roll on runway 07L, utilizing 64% of the 2,048-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 200 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of -8 °C, with a 10-knot wind blowing from a direction of 4°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from PANC, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile south east of Lake Hood Anchorage, rising from an initial altitude of 1,155 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 31,236 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 162 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 13 miles south east of Middleton Island Airport, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 453 minutes, covering a distance of 4,187 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 58 miles north of Isla Grande, where the aircraft descended from 36,353 feet to 1,731 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at Tocumen International Airport (MPTO) was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 30.0° at an altitude of 1,696 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was completed on the 3,060-meter runway, with the touchdown point located 363 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 31 °C, with a 5-knot wind blowing from a direction of 51°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind. The total flight distance was 4,486 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 507 minutes and a fuel consumption of 79,109 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 03R at MPTO Tocumen International Airport, with an approach quality that left room for improvement. The aircraft descended from 1,696 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, heading 30.0 degrees. The approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 162 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown characteristics.
The aircraft touched down 363 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 154 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was excessively high at -1,086 feet per minute, indicating a heavy impact. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind conditions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a 5-knot headwind, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The overall performance of the landing was scored at 48.7%, indicating a need for improvement in several areas. The excessive threshold height and heavy touchdown rate were notable issues, as was the misaligned touchdown position. While the approach speed was slightly above target, it was not significantly outside the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was not executed to the highest standards, and further training and practice may be necessary to achieve a more satisfactory outcome.
