Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.

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 1,548 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,548 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). The takeoff distance was 1,311 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 265 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,296 feet above sea level to 5,746 feet, an increase of 4,451 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued as the aircraft ascended from 6,138 feet to 32,166 feet, an increase of 26,027 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 194 minutes and covered a distance of 803 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 4 miles west of Itea, Central Greece.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 32,293 feet to 15,470 feet, a decrease of 16,823 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 73 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This phase of the flight took place 1 mile east of Kreuzwertheim, Bavaria, Germany.
The final descent phase began 1 mile east of Kreuzwertheim, and the aircraft descended from 15,397 feet to 1,605 feet, a decrease of 13,792 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), heading 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 139 knots and a touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 340 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,473 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,025 nautical miles, and the flight used 3,453 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with an impressive score of 98.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision as it descended onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 146 knots, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The touchdown distance of 340 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 139 knots was well within the recommended range. The touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. The total landing distance of 1,473 meters was only 37% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The aircraft's ability to maintain alignment with the runway during the rollout phase is crucial in ensuring a safe and efficient landing. Overall, the Boeing 777F's landing on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with a score of 98.5% reflecting the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's capabilities.
