Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 135 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 69 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 130 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 147 kt against the 130 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 2,620 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 47 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,667 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,667 ft of the 10,812 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,620 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a movement that required 20 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16L the aircraft used 7,818 ft of runway, representing 66 % of the available length, and rotated at 147 kt; local conditions were 49 °F with a 1 kt wind from 149°, giving a 1 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 1 nm north-east of Des Moines, Washington, climbing from 1,234 ft asl to 27,976 ft asl - an increase of 26,742 ft - in 10 minutes while covering 53 nm.
A brief level cruise followed 8 nm west of Brinnon, Washington, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 11 nm.
A second climb segment started 15 nm south of WN21 Lawson Airpark, Port Angeles, raising the aircraft from 28,095 ft asl to 36,002 ft asl, a gain of 7,906 ft in 5 minutes over 36 nm.
The aircraft then cruised for 7 minutes, covering 48 nm, beginning 9 nm south-west of Sooke, British Columbia.
A third climb commenced 16 nm south of Port Alberni, British Columbia, increasing altitude from 36,434 ft asl to 38,004 ft asl - a rise of 1,570 ft - in 2 minutes while traveling 11 nm.
Subsequent level cruise was sustained for 118 minutes, covering 803 nm, with the aircraft positioned 7 nm south of Port Alberni.
Descent number one began 50 nm south-west of Yakutat, Alaska, descending from 37,752 ft asl to 8,501 ft asl - a loss of 29,251 ft - in 18 minutes across 74 nm.
A further cruise segment lasted 64 minutes and covered 226 nm, starting 37 nm south of Yakataga Airport (PACY), Alaska.
Climb four started 3 nm west of Valdez Hospital Heliport (1AK7), gaining 1,710 ft from 8,499 ft asl to 10,209 ft asl in 2 minutes over 4 nm.
The aircraft then cruised for 2 minutes, covering 3 nm, 1 nm south-west of Highland Airport (47AK), Eagle River, Alaska.
Descent two originated 1 nm north-west of Bryant Army Airfield (PAFR), Fort Richardson, Alaska, dropping from 10,795 ft asl to 7,337 ft asl - a decrease of 3,458 ft - in 3 minutes and traversing 14 nm.
A short cruise followed overhead Carpentiers Strip Point Mackenzie (64AK), lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Descent three began 2 nm north of West Papoose Lake Airpark (44AK), Wasilla, Alaska, descending from 7,354 ft asl to 2,998 ft asl - a loss of 4,356 ft - in 3 minutes over 12 nm.
The aircraft then cruised for 3 minutes, covering 10 nm, 5 nm north-west of the same airpark.
Descent four started overhead Point Mac Airport (AK36), Mackenzie, Alaska, dropping from 2,499 ft asl to 1,600 ft asl - a decrease of 899 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
A final cruise segment lasted 3 minutes, covering 7 nm, overhead Robin's Landing Point Mackenzie (50AK).
During the final approach to runway 15 at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,447 ft agl to 107 ft agl in 89 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 15, which is 10,812 ft long, the aircraft touched down 1,223 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt; the touchdown rate was minus 236 fpm, with a threshold speed of 148 kt and very good alignment. Local weather reported 50 °F, wind 4 kt from 162°, a
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 26R at KIAH in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,248 ft AGL to 39 ft AGL in 94 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 148 kt. The aircraft touched down 50 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 kt that was a little fast and a touchdown rate that was fair at minus 255 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
At touchdown the speed of 145 kt remained slightly above the optimum, the vertical rate was minus 255 fpm, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,822 m, representing 66 % of the 2,740 m runway, and the aircraft finished slightly off centreline by 14.9 m.
Refine the flare to achieve a marginally lower touchdown speed and monitor centreline tracking during rollout to reduce the 14.9 m deviation, which will further improve the already strong 92.4 % score.
