Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 43 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 7.6° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the aircraft onto the runway at the aim point instead of holding it off and letting it float further down the runway.
What happened: This landing touched down well beyond the target point on the runway, with nothing else in the approach or flare accounting for it.
Watch for: Aim point markings: touchdown at the target point on the runway.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,229 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,229 m of the 4,087 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 823 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Heathrow Airport's runway 27R, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey with a takeoff distance of 1,288 meters, utilizing 36% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 182 knots, overcoming a crosswind of 21 knots and a headwind of 25 knots. As it departed the British skies, the aircraft climbed from 1,123 feet above sea level to 5,373 feet, a gain of 4,250 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of five nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it reached a cruising altitude of 32,966 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,466 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 184 minutes, covering a distance of 1,354 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 38,133 feet above sea level. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 39,185 feet to 14,878 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 17C from the north. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 133 knots, with a touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute, and a touchdown point 405 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft utilized 52% of the available runway, with a total landing distance of 2,147 meters. The aircraft then rolled out, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. The total flight distance was 4,171 nautical miles, taking 565 minutes to complete, and the aircraft consumed 69,362 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft above ground level. The good threshold height and speed of 140 kt at touchdown indicated a well-executed approach.
The touchdown point was 405 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt and a rate of -151 fpm, both of which were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a headwind of 6 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 2,147 m, accounting for 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-controlled and stable aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.8% reflecting the minor deviation from the ideal touchdown point.
