Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 11 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 11 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,848 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,848 m of the 3,449 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 542 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 2,807 meters, which was 79% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 185 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 13 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 33,951 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,501 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles east of SJQV Usina Santa Luiza Airport in Motuca, São Paulo, Brazil. This phase lasted for 66 minutes and covered a distance of 534 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,000 feet to 35,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,999 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and speeds, with multiple climb and descent phases. One notable descent phase started 57 miles south of MYBO Ocean Cay Heliport in the Bahamas, where the aircraft descended from 38,000 feet to 4,683 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,318 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it entered a final approach phase to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport from the west. The aircraft was heading 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -157 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. The total landing distance was 1,771 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,637 nautical miles, which was completed in 494 minutes. The aircraft used 61,719 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 130 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a moderate wind of 11 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 8 knots, which is relatively low and should not have significantly impacted the landing. The total landing distance of 1,771 meters was 51% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-center by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which is consistent with the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from ideal performance.
