Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 2,031 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,031 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 837 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 777F aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03L at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa.
As the aircraft took off, it reached a liftoff speed of 171 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. The aircraft's takeoff distance was 1,926 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length.
After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles north of O.R. Tambo International Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 6,582 feet above sea level to 32,684 feet, an increase of 26,102 feet in just 15 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 103 nautical miles during this phase.
The enroute level cruise phase began 12 miles south of Modimolle Airport in South Africa and lasted for 187 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,587 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, which started 11 miles north of Mugie Ranch Airport in Kenya. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 33,194 feet to 34,136 feet, an increase of 942 feet in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 7 miles west of Maralal in Kenya and lasted for 20 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 170 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, which started 38 miles southeast of Sabarei Airport in Kenya. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 33,830 feet to 34,818 feet, an increase of 988 feet in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 34 miles east of Sabarei Airport and lasted for 109 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 906 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, which started 86 miles northeast of Tokar in Sudan. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 35,010 feet to 35,937 feet, an increase of 926 feet in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 91 miles northeast of Tokar and lasted for 72 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 549 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered an enroute descent phase, which started 17 miles southeast of Sharm el-Sheikh Airport in Egypt. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 35,912 feet to 34,051 feet, a decrease of 1,861 feet in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south of Sharm el-Sheikh Airport and lasted for 12 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered an enroute descent phase, which started 7 miles west of Abu Rudeis Airport in Egypt. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 33,253 feet to 1,674 feet, a decrease of 31,579 feet in 22 minutes.
The final approach to runway 05C at Cairo International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 49.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level. The landing
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Cairo International Airport's runway 05C, achieving a score of 91.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 422 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 0°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which is relatively minimal.
The total landing distance of 1,951 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and landing distance.
