Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 548 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 888 m past the threshold, 431 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,223 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,223 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 888 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
KLAX Los Angeles International Airport served as the departure point for a Boeing 777-300, which initiated its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 25R, it began its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,761-meter stretch of the 3,400-meter runway, which accounted for 52% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 196 knots, with a local temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from KLAX, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,019 feet above sea level to 29,776 feet, a vertical gain of 28,758 feet, over a distance of 100 nautical miles in 16 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off at 28 miles west of KNSI San Nicolas Island Nolf Airport, initiating a 73-minute cruise phase that covered 570 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise was repeated several times, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 35,569 feet and covering distances of over 2,069 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 21 miles northeast of NZGR Great Mercury Airport, with the aircraft descending from 35,052 feet to 1,304 feet in 21 minutes, covering 113 nautical miles.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport, a 3,285-meter-long runway, with a touchdown point 471 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute was smooth. The total landing distance of 2,140 meters accounted for 65% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 5,784 nautical miles, using 105,400 kilograms of fuel and taking a total of 739 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -121 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The threshold speed of 143 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was noted that the touchdown speed of 142 kt was slightly above the optimal range, but the touchdown point of 471 m beyond the touchdown zone was not excessively far off. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it decelerated to a stop. The total landing distance of 2,140 m, which accounted for 65% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed to be of high quality, with a score of 91.8% reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
