Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 156 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 174 kt, 18 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 156 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 663 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,784 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, where the aircraft ascended from 983 feet above sea level to 33,972 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,988 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 172 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of 35.7733679 and a longitude of -125.0371678, lasting 304 minutes and covering 2,575 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 34,000 feet above sea level to 35,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,994 feet in 3 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a latitude of 1.2864871 and a longitude of -152.717995, lasting 153 minutes and covering 1,248 nautical miles.
The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 35,996 feet above sea level to 37,390 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,394 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a latitude of -14.6159694 and a longitude of -166.605082, lasting 193 minutes and covering 1,539 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 81 miles northeast of Okiwi Station Airport (NZOX) in Auckland, New Zealand. The descent from 37,989 feet above sea level to 1,299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,690 feet in 27 minutes, covered a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) was made from the east, heading 252.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23L, which had a length of 3,285 meters, was successful, with a threshold height of good, a threshold speed of 135 knots, and a touchdown speed of 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,330 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,727 nautical miles, taking 720 minutes, and the aircraft used 83,147 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Auckland International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 23L was conducted from the east, with a heading of 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots. The touchdown point was located 247 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface conditions, or the pilot's technique.
Despite this minor issue, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,330 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with the exception of the slightly high touchdown rate.
