Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 999 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 54 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 54 ft, 9.3 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 321 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
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,924 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,924 m of the 4,014 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) on runway 23, utilizing 60% of the 1,923-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 188 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29°C, with a 5-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 103 nautical miles in 17 minutes, reaching a height of 29,989 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 8 miles northeast of Hay Island Airstrip (CYOQ), lasting 20 minutes and covering 145 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude and distance covered. Notably, the climb from 29,998 feet to 31,764 feet in 2 minutes and 12 nautical miles was particularly steep, while the level cruise phase from 29 miles north of Bruce Mines Kerr Field Aerodrome (CBM3) lasted 256 minutes and covered 1,888 nautical miles.
The aircraft's final descent began approximately 74 miles east of Kashima-shi (Ibaraki, Japan), with a decrease in altitude from 36,002 feet to 1,433 feet in 23 minutes and 120 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-300 then executed a final approach to runway 16R at Narita International Airport (RJAA), touching down 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 knots. The total landing distance was 1,843 meters, or 44% of the 4,173-meter runway. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding a flight that spanned 5,709 nautical miles and utilized 105,137 kilograms of fuel over a duration of 751 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 16R at RJAA Narita International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was well-managed at 146 kt, indicating a high degree of control and precision from the pilots. However, the touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -259 fpm, which was fair but not exceptional.
The touchdown point was located 194 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a reasonable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the final stages of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,843 m, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision from the pilots during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 93.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control from the pilots, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
