Flight Score
Configure earlier
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,457 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,457 m of the 4,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 810 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from ESPA Luleå Airport in Sweden, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey with a 5-minute taxiing period, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 13°C and with a gentle headwind of 1 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 32, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 168 kt. The takeoff distance of 1,371 meters accounted for 41% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to 32,978 feet, it covered 96 nautical miles in 15 minutes, achieving an impressive increase of 31,914 feet in altitude. The enroute level cruise phase started 16 miles west of Lohtaja, Finland, and lasted 49 minutes, covering 371 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several climb and cruise phases, with notable increases in altitude and distance covered. Notably, the climb from 34,007 feet to 35,013 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, demonstrated the aircraft's exceptional climb performance. The final enroute level cruise phase started 43 miles west of Shendi, Sudan, and lasted 129 minutes, covering 1,058 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent into HKJK Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, it descended from 37,977 feet to 6,666 feet in 15 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 was from the north-east, with a heading of 234.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,140 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 406 meters beyond the touchdown zone and a touchdown speed of 146 kt. The total landing distance of 2,388 meters accounted for 58% of the runway length. After a 2-minute taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 4,199 nautical miles, using 69,056 kg of fuel and taking 536 minutes to complete the journey.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 24 at HKJK Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 151 kt. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown speed of 146 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -268 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth transition from the air to the ground.
The touchdown point was located 406 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly off the ideal position. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.0 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-centre touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, were conducive to a smooth landing. The aircraft's total landing distance of 2,388 m was 58% of the runway length, which was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 8.3 m from the centreline. Despite this, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 88.9%. The crew's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown was evident, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
