Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 2,992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 566 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 1,572 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. After departing from KLAX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and climbing from 1,094 feet above sea level to 34,987 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,893 feet in 23 minutes and covering 145 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southeast of Home Garden Airport (KHOO) and lasted 102 minutes, covering 803 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 11 miles west of Nelson Airport (CZNL) and climbing from 35,031 feet above sea level to 36,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,957 feet in 3 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 14 miles west of Kaslo Airport (CBR2) and lasted 186 minutes, covering 1,481 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 55 miles southwest of Hall Beach Airport (CYUX) and climbing from 36,999 feet above sea level to 38,818 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,819 feet in 3 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 26 miles southwest of CYUX and lasted 284 minutes, covering 2,363 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Suodenniemi and descending from 39,001 feet above sea level to 6,713 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,288 feet in 14 minutes and covering 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 8 miles north of Kauniainen and descending from 6,413 feet above sea level to 1,432 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,980 feet in 7 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04L at Helsinki Vantaa Airport (EFHK) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 48.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04L was successful, with a touchdown point 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -189 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -19 degrees Celsius and winds of 1 knot at 359 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,093 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,952 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 634 minutes. The aircraft used 8,585 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 04L was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 130 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown point was 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is still within an acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -19°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 359°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions relatively favorable.
The total landing distance of 1,093 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200ER at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The minor deviations from the ideal approach speed and touchdown point were not significant enough to impact the overall safety and quality of the landing.
