Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 175 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 201 kt, 26 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 175 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 1,888 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,888 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from London Heathrow Airport, departing runway 27R. The Boeing 777-300 aircraft accelerated down the runway, lifting off the ground at a speed of 201 knots. With a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 14 knots from a direction of 219 degrees, the aircraft experienced a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
Initially, the aircraft followed a gentle climb over Harmondsworth, gradually ascending to an altitude of 5,896 feet in just two minutes, a gain of 4,740 feet over a distance of 7 nautical miles. The climb continued as the plane progressed towards the Belgian border, with the enroute level cruise phase starting approximately one mile southeast of Weybridge, lasting for seven minutes and covering a significant 33 nautical miles.
Further along the route, a second climb commenced as the aircraft passed overhead Aylesford, increasing to an impressive 30,325 feet in just 14 minutes, a substantial gain of 24,401 feet over a distance of 95 nautical miles. After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft engaged in a long level cruise phase, lasting 54 minutes, as it traversed the skies over Flanders, Belgium, covering a distance of 463 nautical miles.
A series of climbs and descents followed over the course of the flight, with significant altitude gains and losses. At one stage, the aircraft climbed from 31,313 feet to 32,861 feet in just two minutes over Zverotice, a gain of 1,549 feet, before embarking on another long cruise phase. This time, the aircraft flew for 188 minutes, covering a huge 1,562 nautical miles, before commencing another climb phase, this time rising from 34,100 feet to 35,818 feet in just two minutes over the skies of Azerbaijan.
The final stretch of the flight saw the aircraft undertake one last climb phase, this time increasing from 36,650 feet to 38,749 feet in just three minutes over the skies of India, before beginning its descent towards Singapore Changi Airport. A smooth descent from 38,459 feet to 1,588 feet took place over the Malaysian peninsula, followed by a brief level cruise phase before the aircraft prepared for final approach.
Touching down on runway 20R at Singapore Changi Airport at a speed of 135 knots, the aircraft used a significant 1,806 meters (55 percent of the runway) to come to a stop. The runway's length of 3,273 meters and good threshold height facilitated a smooth landing, although the touchdown speed was slightly too high, with a touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute. The aircraft landed 144 meters beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline.
The total distance flown throughout the flight was 5,939 nautical miles, taking 759 minutes, and used 97,900 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft made a successful landing at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport, but with a few areas of improvement. The final approach to runway 20R from the north proceeded as planned, with a heading of 203.0 ° and an altitude of 1,252 ft agl, approximately 4 nm from the runway. This demonstrates good navigation and control throughout the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft's touchdown was smooth at a rate of -110 fpm and at a speed of 135 kt, which was a little fast according to standard procedures. The threshold speed was achieved at 140 kt, which is desirable for ensuring a controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 144 m, which could be attributed to slightly faster than desired landing speeds.
In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline of the runway. This slight deviation from the centreline indicates some degree of mismanagement during the final stages of the approach or upon touching down.
The local weather conditions during the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C. This allowed the aircraft to perform smoothly and without any significant issues related to wind resistance or air density.
The overall landing distance of 1,806 m was within an acceptable range, taking up approximately 55% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned, deviating from the centreline by 26.0 m. This misalignment could be attributed to the slightly faster landing speeds and slight deviation from the centreline during touchdown.
In conclusion, while the landing was successful in many aspects, it highlights the importance of precise control and adherence to standard procedures during the final stages of the approach and upon touchdown to ensure efficient and safe landing operations.
