Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner began with a 6-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. Departing from runway 06L, the aircraft had a takeoff distance of 2,154 meters, covering 75% of the runway before reaching liftoff speed of 172 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 13°C with a 12 knot wind coming from 139°, resulting in a 12 knot crosswind and 1 knot tailwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Eringate-Centennial-West Deane in Ontario, Canada, and took the aircraft from 1,547 feet above sea level to 37,074 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 201 nautical miles in 14 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northwest of Norfolk in New York, United States, lasting 11 minutes and covering 423 nautical miles.
The aircraft began its descent 5 miles south of Aldouane in New Brunswick, Canada, descending from 36,753 feet to 35,932 feet over a 2-minute period covering 74 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise segment started 32 miles northeast of Alberton in Prince Edward Island, lasting for 9 minutes and covering 430 nautical miles.
A subsequent climb began 41 miles north of Bonavista in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, taking the aircraft from 35,432 feet to 37,183 feet over a 2-minute period covering 65 nautical miles. A longer enroute level cruise segment followed, starting 93 miles northeast of Bonavista, lasting 57 minutes and covering 1,834 nautical miles.
The descent phase of the flight started overhead Hockley in the City and Borough of Birmingham, England, with the aircraft descending from 37,827 feet to 1,834 feet over 14 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles. The landing took place on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, with a runway length of 3,345 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 38 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 151 knots. Touchdown occurred 358 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 150 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -319 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 12°C with a 5 knot wind coming from 280°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and 5 knot headwind. The total landing distance covered was 1,256 meters, representing 38% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance traveled was 3,122 nautical miles over a duration of 129 minutes, using 34,488 kilograms of fuel.
Great job on your aircraft landing score of 94.5%! Let's delve into some detailed analysis to see where you excelled and where there may be some room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, which demonstrates your skill in maintaining the correct descent path to the runway. Additionally, having your speed well above target indicates that you were prepared for a smooth transition into the Landing Phase.
Moving into the Landing Phase, your good threshold height suggests that you were at the correct altitude when approaching the runway, setting you up for a successful touchdown. Your very good landing flare shows that you were able to control the descent rate and smoothly transition to the touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's great to see that your touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, indicating precision in your approach. However, the hard touchdown rate and high speed could potentially be areas to focus on for improvement. Ensuring a smoother touchdown with a lower descent rate can help reduce wear and tear on the aircraft and improve passenger comfort.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, while your runway alignment was slightly off from the centerline, it's important to continue working on maintaining a straight path down the runway for safety and efficiency.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing process shows a high level of skill and proficiency. By focusing on areas such as touchdown rate and speed control, you can continue to refine your technique and aim for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work!
