Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 77 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 77 ft, 32 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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 1,787 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,787 m of the 2,553 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport's runway 09R, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey, accelerating down the 1,900-meter runway to reach a liftoff speed of 172 knots. The aircraft's takeoff distance accounted for 53% of the available runway, a testament to its efficient performance. As it departed the French skies, the crew encountered a local temperature of 12°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot, with a crosswind of 3 knots.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Mauregard, where the aircraft ascended from 1,322 feet above sea level to 32,997 feet in 16 minutes, covering 114 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a series of level cruises and climbs that would take the aircraft across the Atlantic. The crew expertly navigated the aircraft through various phases, including a 43-minute level cruise at 32,998 feet, a 132-minute level cruise at 33,979 feet, and a 179-minute level cruise at 35,965 feet. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was evident in its ability to cover long distances while maintaining a stable altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport, it began its descent from 37,993 feet to 1,369 feet in 22 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 142 knots. The touchdown rate was a respectable -137 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 1,708 meters accounted for 67% of the available runway. After a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its 3,788-nautical-mile journey in 470 minutes, with a total fuel consumption of 58,283 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 12 at TFFR Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's descent from 1,329 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the threshold was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 101.0°, and the threshold speed of 148 knots was maintained, indicating a high degree of control and precision.
The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the recommended value, but the touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a well-executed flare. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of skill and control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C and a light headwind of 4 knots, also contributed to a successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,708 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was highly satisfactory, with a score of 98.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
