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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The takeoff distance was 2,438 meters, which accounted for 87% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 202 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 350 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,119 feet above sea level to 33,159 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,040 feet. The enroute level cruise started 7 miles east of Ceibas, Argentina, and lasted for 554 minutes, covering a distance of 4,479 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 8 miles east of Barnegat Light, New Jersey, and took 19 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,839 feet above sea level to 1,278 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,561 feet. The descent covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 206.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown point located 76 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 290 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,408 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,627 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 611 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 84,238 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 99.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating that the pilots may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 76 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,408 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
