Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 14 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 14 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 188 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 441 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,635 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,635 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 793 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,894 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 198 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of the airport and reaching an altitude of 32,839 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 123 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended by 29,337 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south-east of SILI Ilha dos Porcos Grandes Airport in Angra Dos Reis, Brazil. This cruise phase lasted for 622 minutes and covered a distance of 4,963 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 30 miles south-east of Varigotti in Liguria, Italy. This descent phase covered a distance of 76 nautical miles and took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended by 28,845 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Suardi in Lombardia, Italy. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Cassolnovo in Lombardia, Italy. This descent phase covered a distance of 13 nautical miles and took 4 minutes, during which the aircraft descended by 2,186 feet.
The final approach to runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,977 meters. The threshold height at 66 feet above ground level was above the target, while the threshold speed was good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 379 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,556 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,203 nautical miles, taking a total of 683 minutes and using 90,847 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) on runway 35R, achieving an overall score of 86.2%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 379 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown position was also found to be misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 40°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,556 meters was 52% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This may indicate that the aircraft required a longer distance to come to a stop after touchdown, possibly due to the firm touchdown rate or the misaligned runway touchdown position. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed, improving the runway touchdown position alignment, and optimizing the landing distance to reduce the percentage of runway used.
