Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 171 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 197 kt, 26 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 171 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 58 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 58 ft, 13 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 231 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 196 kt with 5.3° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 917 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 770 m of runway left; then climbing at 3,190 fpm on average to 917 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,998 m runway.
Rolled from 132 m in, drifted 3.8 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 62 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 250 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 17× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 21 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +6 kt on the approach speed of 144 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very poor landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 359° at 2 kt · 0 kt tail · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 141 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 23 s, an average deceleration of 0.26 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,681 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 722 m in, 417 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,681 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 410 fpm at 46 ft to 230 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,681 m of the 3,376 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 2.5 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 722 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 aircraft was involved in a flight. The aircraft's taxiing process from the parking to the runway took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following a smooth takeoff roll on runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, the plane lifted off after covering a distance of 1,745 meters, which accounts for 58% of the runway length.
At liftoff, the aircraft's speed reached 197 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 30 degrees. The plane encountered some crosswind and tailwind during its departure from the airport.
The aircraft's enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southeast of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. It climbed from an initial altitude of 1,066 feet above sea level (asl) to 17,091 feet asl, achieving an increase of 16,025 feet in the process. This 8-minute climb covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, marking the initial phase of the plane's journey.
The flight's first enroute climb started 4 miles northwest of Ishioka (Ibaraki, Japan). During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 17,078 feet asl to 33,063 feet asl, covering an elevation gain of 15,985 feet in the process, which took 12 minutes to accomplish and involved covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The plane experienced a prolonged enroute level cruise that lasted 102 minutes, covering an impressive 909 nautical miles. This marked a significant portion of the flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable altitude of around 17,000 feet asl.
The aircraft's route took it through various locations, with notable climbs occurring at specific geographical coordinates. One such climb occurred at Latitude: 43.770242 and Longitude: -148.5441557, where the plane climbed from 35,201 feet asl to 36,660 feet asl, achieving a 1,459-foot elevation gain in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
Following this climb, the aircraft entered another prolonged enroute level cruise, lasting 167 minutes, and covering 1,399 nautical miles. During this period, the plane maintained an altitude of around 35,000 feet asl.
As the plane continued its journey, it began its descent towards KLAX Los Angeles International Airport. The descent phase started 8 miles east of KLOS Lost Hills Airport and lasted for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,972 feet asl to 1,262 feet asl, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The aircraft subsequently entered a short enroute level cruise over Lynwood (California, United States), lasting only 2 minutes, but covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was executed from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 263.0° and descending from an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,073 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 25L, which has a length of 3,376 meters. The landing performance was satisfactory, with the aircraft touching down slightly beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 knots, indicating a slightly fast pace. The touchdown rate was reasonable at -263 feet per minute (fpm).
Following a successful touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total landing distance covered 47% of the runway length.
The flight's overall distance was 4,846 nautical miles, covering a duration of 568 minutes. The aircraft
