Flight Score
Slow down before tight turns
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,061 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,061 m of the 3,698 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 512 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 15, the aircraft used 685 m of runway, representing 25 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient temperature was 24 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 130°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile north-west of Hampton in Arden (Solihull, England), climbing from 1,300 ft asl to 5,997 ft asl-a gain of 4,697 ft-in 3 minutes while covering 13 nm.
A cruise segment started 2 miles south of Warwick (Warwickshire, England) and lasted 5 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 22 nm.
The second climb commenced 1 mile north of Stonesfield (Oxfordshire, England), ascending from 6,000 ft asl to 35,851 ft asl, an increase of 29,851 ft in 13 minutes and covering 91 nm.
A brief cruise followed from a point 13 miles south-east of Swanage (Dorset, England), lasting 3 minutes and spanning 25 nm.
The third climb started 19 miles north of Saint-Germain-des-Vaux (Normandie, France), rising from 36,002 ft asl to 36,960 ft asl, a gain of 958 ft in 2 minutes while covering 13 nm.
The longest cruise began 7 miles north-west of Auderville (Normandie, France) and continued for 50 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 409 nm.
Descent began 3 miles north-east of Sarrance (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France), descending from 36,992 ft asl to 2,150 ft asl, a loss of 34,841 ft in 19 minutes and traversing 115 nm.
The final approach to runway 12R at LEZG Zaragoza Airport was executed from the north-west, on a heading of 119.0° at 4 nm and 1,309 ft agl.
Landing on runway 12R (length 3,698 m) was achieved with a threshold speed of 147 kt; touchdown occurred 104 m beyond the touchdown zone at 142 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 318 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 32 °C, wind 2 kt from 70°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,988 m, representing 54 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 697 nm, took 105 minutes, and consumed 12,348 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 entered the final approach to runway 12R at LEZG Zaragoza Airport from the north-west on a heading of 119.0° at 4 nm and 1,309 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 32 °C with wind 2 kt from 070°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 147 kt.
The touchdown occurred 104 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 318 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,988 m, representing 54 % of the 3,698 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 98.2 % the landing was strong; reducing the touchdown speed slightly toward the reference value and moderating the flare to lessen the vertical rate would refine the already excellent performance.
