Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 9 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,234 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,234 m of the 3,510 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from its parking position to runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in 10 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 25C, using 2,282 m (57 % of the runway) before liftoff at 174 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C, wind 5 kt from 208°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb began 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Hessen, Germany, ascending from 1,311 ft asl to 34,002 ft asl - an increase of 32,691 ft - over 17 minutes while covering 98 nm.
Level cruise was initiated 1 mile west of Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and continued for 136 minutes, traversing 862 nm.
A subsequent climb started at latitude 56.0457268, longitude -15.2036705, rising from 33,992 ft asl to 34,899 ft asl (increase of 908 ft) in 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The next cruise segment began at latitude 56.1153679, longitude -15.5172358 and lasted 202 minutes, during which 1,400 nm were flown.
Climb resumed 78 miles north-east of CCZ2 Rigolet Airport, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, gaining 979 ft from 34,993 ft asl to 35,972 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 12 nm.
The following cruise leg started 65 miles north-east of the same airport and persisted for 148 minutes, covering 1,153 nm.
Descent commenced overhead Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, United States, descending from 35,984 ft asl to 9,298 ft asl - a loss of 26,687 ft - in 15 minutes and spanning 97 nm.
A brief level segment followed 2 miles north-east of Woodsboro, Maryland, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Descent continued 2 miles south of Walkersville, Maryland, dropping from 8,633 ft asl to 4,473 ft asl (decrease of 4,160 ft) in 3 minutes over 14 nm.
Another level cruise began 3 miles south of MD77 Flying M Farms Airport, Comus, Maryland, lasting 7 minutes and covering 26 nm.
The aircraft then descended 1 mile south-east of Clifton, Virginia, falling from 3,917 ft asl to 1,564 ft asl - a reduction of 2,353 ft - in 4 minutes across 11 nm.
During the first final approach to runway 01C at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,297 ft agl to -11 ft agl in 101 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
A go-around was executed on runway 01C at KIAD at 0 ft agl.
A second final approach to runway 01C followed, with descent from 1,310 ft agl to 77 ft agl in 93 seconds, again receiving a stabilisation-gate score.
Landing on runway 01C was achieved with a runway length of 3,505 m; the threshold speed was 144 kt, touchdown occurred 94 m beyond the touchdown zone at 139 kt, and the touchdown rate was minus 199 fpm, with very good alignment.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,156 m (62 % of the runway); runway-rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.8 m, and the local temperature was 23 °C.
In total, the flight covered 3,794 nm, required 572 minutes, and consumed 71,640 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 01C at KIAD on a stabilised final, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. The aircraft descended from 1,297 ft AGL to -11 ft AGL in 101 seconds and from 1,310 ft AGL to 77 ft AGL in 93 seconds, earning full marks on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 144 kt.
Touchdown occurred 94 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed was 139 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 233 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,156 m, representing 62 % of the runway length, and the aircraft finished the rollout slightly misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline.
Reduce the touchdown speed toward the target VREF to minimise the slight excess, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment through the rollout to eliminate the 8.8 m deviation.
