Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 174 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 196 kt against a rotation target of 174 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 174 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 11 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 11 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 11 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 1,923 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,923 m of the 4,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 629 m past the threshold — beyond 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 2,128 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 196 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 120°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles northeast of the airport and continued to an altitude of 32,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,602 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 7 miles west of Ibate, São Paulo, Brazil, and lasting 124 minutes, covering a distance of 1,046 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, starting 5 miles southeast of Aripuana, Mato Grosso, Brazil, which took the aircraft to an altitude of 33,985 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,583 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 10 miles northwest of Aripuana, Mato Grosso, Brazil, and lasting 189 minutes, covering a distance of 1,615 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, starting at a latitude of 11.6454191 and longitude of -77.9339211, which took the aircraft to an altitude of 35,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,709 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting at a latitude of 11.8394739 and longitude of -78.0864994, and lasting 209 minutes, covering a distance of 1,573 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 3 miles south of 10TS Saint's Strip Ultralightport Marion, Texas, United States, and descending from 36,007 feet above sea level to 3,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,976 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, starting overhead The Colony, Texas, United States, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, starting overhead Lewisville, Texas, United States, and descending from 3,004 feet above sea level to 1,849 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,154 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 4,095 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 217 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 190°.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on runway 17C, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 149 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was located 217 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 5.7 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -107 feet per minute (fpm). The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,846 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
