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 8.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,711 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,711 m of the 3,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 585 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a takeoff distance of 1,220 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,042 feet above sea level to 32,956 feet, an increase of 31,914 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south west of EDLE Essen Mülheim Airport Essen-Mulheim, Germany, and lasted for 105 minutes, covering a distance of 847 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 33,063 feet to 35,055 feet, an increase of 1,992 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 4 miles north west of Leskovik, Albania, and lasted for 191 minutes, covering a distance of 1,577 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey with several more enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 35,086 feet to 35,543 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles, and then began a level cruise that lasted for 109 minutes, covering a distance of 902 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from 38,227 feet to 4,226 feet, a decrease of 34,001 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 88.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,296 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown point 175 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 90 degrees, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,636 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,934 nautical miles, taking a total of 509 minutes, and the aircraft used 63,453 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 147 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than ideal, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -349 feet per minute. The touchdown point was located 175 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.3 meters, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's control inputs. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,636 meters was 46% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from ideal performance.
