Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 204 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 34 kt fast at 238 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 204 kt in the climb
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 524 m past the threshold, 67 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,009 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,009 m of the 3,482 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SBFZ Pinto Martins International Airport in Fortaleza, Brazil, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 13, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,114-meter stretch of the 2,500-meter runway, which accounted for 44% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots, overcoming the negligible headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 985 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 36,985 feet, a vertical gain of 36,000 feet in just 18 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 133 nautical miles, setting the stage for the long-haul flight ahead. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 169 minutes, covering a distance of 1,426 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude from 36,996 feet to 1,384 feet, a decrease of 35,613 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at GOOY Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport in Dakar, Senegal, was initiated from the south, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,307 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft touched down 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 146 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -140 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was excellent. Following a total landing distance of 2,043 meters, which accounted for 61% of the 3,348-meter runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,692 nautical miles, covering a distance of 25,846 kilograms of fuel over a flight time of 216 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 36 at GOOY Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -140 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The threshold speed of 146 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was found to be 222 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 140 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft's wheels remained firmly on the ground, and the pilot was able to maintain control. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway, indicating a high degree of precision in the approach.
The Boeing 777-300 rolled out on the runway with perfect alignment, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 2,043 m, which accounted for 61% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.3% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
