Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 156 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 186 kt against a rotation target of 156 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 156 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 1,605 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,605 m of the 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 aircraft was operated from Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, with takeoff occurring from runway 26L. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 7 minutes and covered approximately 5 nautical miles. At the time of departure, the local temperature was 16 °C, and as the aircraft gained speed on the runway, it reached a liftoff speed of 186 knots.
Following liftoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Otopeni, Romania, and rising from a height of 1,418 feet above sea level to 32,611 feet, a vertical increase of 31,193 feet, in 12 minutes while covering 63 nautical miles. Once at cruising altitude, the aircraft stabilized its altitude for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 365 nautical miles, just west of Roseti, Calarasi, Romania.
Enroute, the aircraft's descent began 10 miles south of Hocalar, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey, where it decreased by 31,024 feet in 40 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles from a height of 32,469 feet to 1,444 feet above ground level. Upon reaching a suitable altitude for approach, the aircraft turned south and initiated its final approach to runway 36R at Antalya International Airport, heading 6.0 degrees and situated 4 nautical miles from the runway at a height of 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots, slightly higher than the threshold speed, but still within a suitable range. The aircraft touched down at a calculated distance of 395 meters along the runway, consuming 45% of the runway length of 3,411 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute, and runway touchdown alignment was reported as perfect, taking place with a threshold speed of 144 knots in a local environment of temperature 21 °C and wind speed of 5 knots from 310 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots.
Following touchdown, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 543 nautical miles, taking 113 minutes, and a significant amount of fuel was consumed, at 13,275 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully executed a final approach to runway 36R at LTAI Antalya International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. Starting from a position 4 nautical miles south of the runway, the aircraft established a heading of 6.0 degrees in preparation for its landing. At an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level, the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft towards the runway, making use of the wind conditions and the aircraft's instruments to optimize the landing.
The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and winds blowing at 5 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. The crosswind was at a relatively low speed of 4 knots, while the headwind was at 3 knots. These conditions presented a challenge to the pilot, but they successfully managed the aircraft to a touchdown on the runway. The threshold speed of 144 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had achieved a stable approach speed.
The touchdown itself was accomplished at a speed of 141 knots, which was slightly higher than the ideal speed. However, the touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute was firm, signifying that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's landing.
The aircraft rolled out along the runway in good alignment, covering a distance of 1,525 meters, which accounted for approximately 45% of the runway length. This was consistent with the overall landing distance, and the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the rollout phase was evident.
Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully completed the landing at LTAI Antalya International Airport, showcasing the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities. The high score of 98.8% was a testament to the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through challenging weather conditions and execute a precise touchdown on the runway.
