Flight Score
Arrival
Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.
What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 3.7° on short final.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,537 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,537 ft of the 13,091 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,030 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxi-out from the parking area to runway 17R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Takeoff was executed on runway 17R, requiring a ground roll of 7,379 ft (55 % of the runway) and a rotation speed of 164 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 75 °F, wind 3 kt from 86°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of KDFW, where the aircraft rose from 1,530 ft asl to 31,370 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,840 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 115 nm.
The first level cruise segment started 5 nm east of TS20 C Lazy T Ranch Airport and continued for 452 minutes, during which 3,435 nm were flown.
A second climb began at latitude 58.0129852, longitude -178.5527496, lifting the aircraft from 32,007 ft asl to 35,934 ft asl, a gain of 3,927 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 24 nm.
Subsequent cruise was initiated at latitude 57.8216019, longitude -179.2689209 and persisted for 330 minutes, covering 2,594 nm.
Descent started 6 nm west of RKES Yeongju Emergency Runway Airfield, with the aircraft descending from 35,992 ft asl to 3,597 ft asl, a loss of 32,396 ft in 21 minutes while traveling 125 nm.
A brief level cruise followed 6 nm west of Hwaseong-si, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 8 nm.
The next descent segment began 11 nm west of Ansan-si, dropping from 3,601 ft asl to 1,402 ft asl, a decrease of 2,199 ft in 3 minutes across 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 34R at RKSI Incheon International Airport reduced altitude from 1,418 ft agl to 166 ft agl in 103 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 34R was performed on a 13,091 ft runway; the threshold height at 62 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed of 143 kt was slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 636 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 kt, with a touchdown rate of -209 fpm and a lateral deviation of 18 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 63 °F, wind 3 kt from 18°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 5,242 ft, representing 40 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 10 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 6,319 nm, took 856 (units as provided), and consumed 214,392 lb of fuel.
The approach to runway 18R at EHAM was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,351 ft AGL to 88 ft AGL in 107 seconds on a final approach that featured a temperature of 17 °C, wind 2 kt from 150°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the speed was recorded as good at 136 kt and the threshold height was good. The aircraft touched down 364 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed a little fast at 136 kt and a hard touchdown rate of minus 466 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Touchdown occurred 364 m from the threshold with the noted speed and rate, maintaining the very good alignment achieved during the flare.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,757 m, representing 50 % of the 3,526 m runway, and the aircraft finished slightly misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline.
Minor refinements are advised: reduce touchdown speed slightly toward the target VREF to help soften the hard rate of minus 466 fpm, and fine-tune flare timing to achieve a gentler touchdown while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
