Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 138 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 169 kt against a rotation target of 138 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 138 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 502 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 303 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,921 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,921 m of the 3,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 205 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a 40-minute taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,682 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a 9-knot wind blowing at 30°. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, and the aircraft ascended from 1,038 feet above sea level to 41,328 feet, an increase of 40,290 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 226 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of 36.4127596 and a longitude of -127.1029803, lasting for 29 minutes and covering 1,711 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 83 miles north of Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii, and descended from 39,708 feet to 5,073 feet, a decrease of 34,635 feet in 9 minutes, covering 133 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 10 miles north of 92Z Kaupuleu Kaupuleu, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (PHKO) was made from the north, heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,751 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 207 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 173 knots was excessively fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -350 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a 8-knot wind blowing at 220°.
The total landing distance was 1,961 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took just 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,100 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 26,703 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, with a final approach score of 90.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,751 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 3,360 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 176 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach speed being too high.
The touchdown distance was good at 207 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and smoothly after touchdown. However, the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 173 knots, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. The touchdown rate was firm at -350 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the normal range for a firm touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,961 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessively high threshold speed and the excessively fast touchdown speed. However, the aircraft's ability to slow down quickly and smoothly after touchdown, and its good runway rollout alignment, were notable positives.
