Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 160 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 139 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 68 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 236 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 139 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 787-10 aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 30, and the takeoff distance was 1,045 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots coming from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of South Riding, Virginia. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,331 feet above sea level to 34,814 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,483 feet, in just 15 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Swedesboro, New Jersey, and lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 424 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 2 miles southwest of Winter Harbor, Maine. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 34,232 feet above sea level to 38,154 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,922 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile northeast of Marshfield, Maine, and lasted for 338 minutes, covering a distance of 2,947 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Fougerolles, France. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,387 feet above sea level to 2,688 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,698 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the northwest, heading 137.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 14, which has a length of 3,138 meters. The threshold height at 73 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 304 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -430 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,454 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,612 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 431 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 35,982 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-10 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 14, achieving an overall score of 86.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -430 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly abrupt touchdown. The touchdown point was located 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance.
The threshold height at 73 ft agl was significantly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was higher than expected at the threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 139 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 0°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal at 1 kt, which suggests that the landing was not significantly affected by wind.
The total landing distance was 1,454 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to land slightly off-centre.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a steady speed or the aircraft's response to the brakes. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters.
