Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 162 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 183 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 162 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 296 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
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 2,806 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,806 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 786 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, departing from runway 02C at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS). The takeoff distance was 2,215 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 183 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from 339 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Singapore, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,243 feet above sea level (asl) in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 178 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and continued until the aircraft reached the desired cruising altitude. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute level cruise, which lasted for 197 minutes and covered a distance of 1,662 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, making several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable climbs occurring 12 miles east of Mudgal, India, and 47 miles northeast of Das Island Airport, United Arab Emirates. The aircraft also made several enroute level cruises, including one that lasted for 264 minutes and covered a distance of 1,363 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles northwest of Blankenberge, Belgium. The descent from 36,935 feet asl to 6,727 feet asl took 21 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL).
The final approach was made from the east, heading 270 degrees, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots. The touchdown point was 369 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned.
The total landing distance was 2,724 meters, which is 76% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,147 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 821 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 103,138 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 369 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 15 knots at 190°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,724 meters was 76% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilots may have been able to improve their performance by better managing the crosswind and touchdown rate, but the landing was still within the acceptable range.
