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 24 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 1,851 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,851 m of the 2,380 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 591 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, which is one of Europe's major air travel hubs. The Boeing 777-300 aircraft departed from runway 24 and initially climbed at a rate that increased its altitude by 30,868 feet over a period of 16 minutes, covering a distance of around 89 nautical miles. This enroute climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 995 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 31,863 feet.
After completing this phase of the flight, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, beginning 46 miles north east of the English coastal town of Sea Palling. This phase, which spanned approximately 62 minutes, allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude of 31,863 feet. In this period, the Boeing 777-300 covered an impressive distance of 469 nautical miles before transitioning to another phase of the flight.
The aircraft then conducted a climb from 30,593 feet to 32,231 feet over the course of 2 minutes, followed by 394 minutes of level cruise from an altitude of 32,231 feet. The total distance covered during this cruise phase was an extensive 2,888 nautical miles, demonstrating the impressive endurance of the Boeing 777-300.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft then entered another climb phase, this time from 33,191 feet to 37,350 feet in just 5 minutes. Once this altitude had been reached, the aircraft transitioned to another cruise phase, lasting 57 minutes and covering a distance of 437 nautical miles. This series of climbs and cruise phases highlights the adaptability of the Boeing 777-300 in responding to changing flight requirements.
The next phase of the flight was a descent from a maximum altitude of 38,366 feet to a height of 1,285 feet in just 26 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-300 then began its final approach to runway 28R at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, the destination for the flight.
The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270 degrees, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the designated runway and touched down at 143 knots, which was slightly above the target rate. While the touchdown point was 188 meters beyond the touchdown zone, this was compensated for by the aircraft's good threshold height and the runway's suitable length of 2,380 meters.
Local weather conditions played a significant role in the successful execution of this flight. Initially, temperature and wind conditions were favorable for departure, with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and wind at 22 knots. However, these conditions varied throughout the flight and during the approach to Fort Lauderdale, the temperature had risen to 21 degrees Celsius with a much lower wind speed of 9 knots, which facilitated a safe landing on the runway.
In total, the Boeing 777-300 completed a long-haul flight of 4,075 nautical miles in 579 minutes, using an impressive 72,937 kilograms of fuel. This flight, characterized by its multiple phases of climb, cruise, and descent, serves as a testament to the advanced capabilities and operational efficiency of modern commercial aircraft technology.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 150 knots, registering at 150 kt. However, the touchdown point was 188 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 143 kt was also a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a relatively smooth descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 9 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which may have contributed to the slight deviations in the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,782 meters was 75% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively efficient landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centerline, which may have required the pilots to make some adjustments to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
