Flight Score
Arrival
Ease the pitch and add power earlier on final to arrest the descent rate before reaching the stabilisation gate.
What happened: On the approach, the aircraft's sink rate exceeded the stabilised gate limit, tripping a sink-rate fault at the gate check.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, stabilised descent rate approaching the gate
See Arrival Approach
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 166 kt, 8 kt above the 158 kt target, and lifted off at 180 kt 2.6 s later, the nose coming up at 2.8° a second. Climb 3 averaged 207 kt, 9 kt over its 198 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 805 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,789 m of runway left; gear up at 48 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,010 fpm on average to 805 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,585 m runway.
Rolled from 96 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.9 m left. Airborne 39 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 21 kt above the approach speed of 143 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.4 to 1.7 nm, then not again: fast from 1.7 nm, low from 0.4 nm and left of the centreline from 0.2 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 ft under).
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 10× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then 9 m left of it from 0.2 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.7 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +28 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 221° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 147 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 46 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,677 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 447 m in, 142 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,677 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 460 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.3° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,677 m of the 2,781 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.8 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 2.3 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 447 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 26L at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Take-off was on runway 26L. The aircraft used 1,415 m of runway (39 % of runway) and rotated at 166 kt. Local weather was 16 °C, wind 6 kt from 219° (crosswind 4 kt, headwind 4 kt).
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 14 seconds, averaging 2,787 fpm and reaching 204 kt at the top of the climb.
The climb continued from 1,389 ft asl to 32,001 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 112 nm, beginning 1 mile north of Schkeuditz.
Cruise level at 32,000 ft asl was held for 25 minutes, covering 183 nm, beginning 1 mile north of Bischberg.

Final approach to runway 33 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg began at 1,879 ft agl and descended to 80 ft agl in 83 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, glideslope, centreline and wings level; they were not met for sink rate (at one gate) and speed (at one gate). The aircraft was in final flap position 6 at 3,736 ft agl with a speed of 190 kt.
Landing on runway 33 used a threshold height described as good. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 151 kt. The flare was reported as perfect. Touchdown occurred 447 m down the runway at 146 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 104 fpm and very good runway alignment. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,599 m (57 % of runway) and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was 9 °C, wind 2 kt from 222° (crosswind 2 kt, tailwind 1 kt).
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 412 nm in 72 minutes and consumed 10,343 kg of fuel.
