Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 18 ft, and this flight then touched down at 335 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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.

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 1,680 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,680 m of the 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 686 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 07L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 1,907 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 190 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Los Angeles, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Lennox, California, and the aircraft climbed from 1,135 feet above sea level to 31,211 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,076 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 14 miles east of Harvard Airport (CN23) in Yermo, California, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 10 miles south of Kingston Ranch Airport (04NV) in Sandy Valley, California, and climbed from 31,754 feet above sea level to 33,274 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,520 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Jean Airport (0L7) in Jean, Nevada, and lasted 182 minutes, covering 1,603 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 5 miles northwest of Burke Lakefront Airport (KBKL) in Cleveland, Ohio, and climbed from 32,743 feet above sea level to 34,726 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,983 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northeast of Middlefield, Ohio, and lasted 249 minutes, covering 2,258 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb at a specific latitude and longitude, and climbed from 34,748 feet above sea level to 36,737 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,989 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at another specific latitude and longitude and lasted 100 minutes, covering 821 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent at a specific latitude and longitude, and descended from 37,009 feet above sea level to 8,413 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,596 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southwest of Cascais, Portugal, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 12 miles southwest of Cascais, and descended from 8,023 feet above sea level to 1,632 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,391 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at Lisbon Portela Airport (LPPT) was from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown point 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) with a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 02 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach.
Upon landing, the threshold speed was recorded at 145 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating a minor loss of control during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were relatively calm, which contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,602 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with minor deviations in the approach and touchdown speed.
