Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 9.2 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 9.2 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 9.2 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 2,994 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 875 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), with a takeoff distance of 1,500 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.
The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 167 knots, with a local temperature of 24°C and wind conditions of 6 knots at 111 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile west of Lennox, California, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,127 feet above sea level to 33,738 feet, an increase of 32,611 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southeast of Hart Ranch Airport in Santa Margarita, California, and lasted for 72 minutes, covering a distance of 559 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 33,753 feet to 35,615 feet, an increase of 1,862 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed at a new location, and the aircraft flew for 210 minutes, covering a distance of 1,691 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,614 feet to 37,580 feet, an increase of 1,966 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, and the aircraft flew for 171 minutes, covering a distance of 1,289 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,754 feet to 39,762 feet, an increase of 2,008 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed once again, and the aircraft flew for 147 minutes, covering a distance of 1,017 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 52 miles east of Kashima-shi, Japan, and the aircraft descended from 40,136 feet to 8,069 feet, a decrease of 32,067 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 2 miles southeast of Yotsukaido, Japan, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles west of Ohara, Japan, and the aircraft descended from 7,957 feet to 7,469 feet, a decrease of 488 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed once more, this time 5 miles northwest of Katsuura, Japan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 8 miles southeast of Futtsu, Japan, and the aircraft descended from 6,496 feet to 1,271 feet, a decrease of 5,225 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34L at Tokyo Haneda International Airport (RJTT) began from the southeast, heading 328.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,230 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 34L, which had a length of 2,994 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport on runway 34L. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 328.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,230 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good speed of 133 knots during the approach, meeting the target threshold speed.
However, the threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's descent. Despite this, the touchdown point was 458 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown rate of -246 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,318 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the acceptable parameters. However, there is room for improvement in terms of controlling the descent and touchdown rate to achieve a smoother landing.
