Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,989 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,989 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 22R at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,033 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 231 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts. The climb took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,013 feet above sea level to 35,059 feet, an increase of 34,046 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south west of ME5 Banks Airport in Swans Island, Maine, and lasted for 76 minutes, covering a distance of 743 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,926 feet to 35,885 feet, an increase of 958 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The level cruise resumed, starting at a new location, and lasted for 154 minutes, covering 1,395 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing again from 35,983 feet to 36,675 feet, an increase of 692 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The level cruise started once more, lasting for 67 minutes and covering 547 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 4 miles north east of Mundesley in Norfolk, England. The descent took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,211 feet to 2,214 feet, a decrease of 34,996 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the south west, heading 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,916 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 2,999 nautical miles, taking 392 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 50,306 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 94 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 151 kt, which was a little faster than the desired speed. The touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,916 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.9%. However, there were minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions, including a slightly above-target threshold speed and a touchdown point beyond the designated touchdown zone.
