Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power on final to bring threshold speed back to 138 kt, removing the excess energy before the flare.
What happened: The threshold was crossed at 150 kt against a target of 138 kt, and g force through the landing ran high at 1.1 g; this pattern usually carries through to a hard touchdown, as it did here at 1.1 g.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 138 kt at the threshold
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 six 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 1,842 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,842 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 408 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The B772 taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, a taxi of 14 minutes covering 3 nm.
Take-off was on runway 24L. The aircraft used 1,348 m of runway (44 % of runway) and rotated at 142 kt. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 5 kt from 280°, giving a 1 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 30 seconds, averaging 1,634 fpm and reaching 159 kt at the top.
The climb continued from 1,048 ft asl to 39,004 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering 178 nm, beginning about 1 mile west of KLAX.
Level cruise was at 38,900 ft asl for 51 minutes, covering 435 nm, beginning about 7 miles south-west of 04NV Kingston Ranch Airport.
Descent from 38,998 ft asl to 6,469 ft asl took 28 minutes, covering 171 nm, beginning about 7 miles east of Crawford.
Final approach to runway 16L at KDEN Denver International Airport descended from 1,165 ft agl to -1 ft agl in 93 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,667 ft agl with 166 kt, and final flap position 6 at 2,613 ft agl with 174 kt.
Landing on runway 16L (runway length 3,662 m) had a threshold height of 71 ft agl, above target, and a threshold speed of 151 kt, slightly above target. The flare was very poor, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 408 m from the threshold at 147 kt, a little fast, with a heavy rate of -689 fpm. The touchdown point was 7.3 m off the centreline. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,762 m (48 % of runway) and the rollout was 10.7 m off the centreline. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 4 kt from 128°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 10 minutes, covering 2 nm.
The flight covered 795 nm in 126 minutes and used 13,926 kg of fuel.
