Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 152 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 170 kt against a rotation target of 152 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 152 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,592 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,592 m of the 2,773 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 694 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. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL) in Manila, Philippines.
The takeoff distance was 1,750 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 170 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 256°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot.
Following takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb phase involved a significant increase in altitude, from 978 feet above sea level to 32,528 feet, over a distance of 118 nautical miles. This climb phase took approximately 21 minutes.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for varying periods of time at different points during the flight. The first level cruise phase started 50 miles northeast of Jomalig Island Airport (RPLJ) and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The second level cruise phase started 69 miles southeast of Dinapigue Airstrip (RPDI) and lasted for 177 minutes, covering a distance of 1,595 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, which started 113 miles southeast of Namie, Japan. This climb phase involved an increase in altitude from 35,199 feet to 36,948 feet over a distance of 14 nautical miles. The climb phase took approximately 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and lasted for 182 minutes, covering a distance of 1,521 nautical miles. The next climb phase started at a different latitude and longitude and involved an increase in altitude from 36,999 feet to 38,936 feet over a distance of 29 nautical miles. This climb phase took approximately 3 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 84 miles west of Casco Cove Coast Guard Station (PAAT) and lasted for 291 minutes, covering a distance of 2,372 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Neah Bay, Washington. The descent involved a significant decrease in altitude, from 38,931 feet to 1,283 feet, over a distance of 104 nautical miles. This descent phase took approximately 21 minutes.
The final approach to runway 14R at Boeing Field King County International Airport (KBFI) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 150.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 118 knots, with a touchdown point 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute, while the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,504 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 5,804 nautical miles, which was covered in 709 minutes. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total of 80,927 kilograms consumed during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport on runway 14R. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 150.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was achieved at 129 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 272 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected point. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process. The touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent, but not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 5°C and no wind. The absence of crosswind or headwind made the landing process even smoother, as the pilot did not have to contend with any external factors that could have affected the aircraft's stability or control.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the process. The total landing distance of 1,504 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
