What went well

Touched down at -320 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 2.18 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.29 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — GPWS warning; Flare profile at 13 %, Threshold height at 66 ft agl was above target at 75 %, −1.16 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 710 m at 72 %, −0.23 points

Next time

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.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 777-300 took off from runway 19 at FACT Cape Town International Airport, covering 47% of the runway during its 1,511-meter takeoff distance. The aircraft gained liftoff speed of 184 knots within a short period, with the takeoff taxiing 1 nautical mile from the parking spot in 6 minutes.

As the plane entered its initial climb phase 2 miles south of FACT Cape Town International Airport, it climbed at an impressive 31,000 feet above sea level in just 17 minutes. The aircraft then transitioned into its first level cruise phase at 73 miles west of Constantia, covering an expansive 1,350 nautical miles in 202 minutes. This segment of the journey was characterized by a stable and consistent altitude.

Later, en route, the aircraft climbed from 32,581 feet to 34,057 feet above sea level within just 2 minutes, achieving an increase of 1,476 feet. This climb occurred at Latitude -32.9166051 and Longitude -10.0986219. Following this ascent, the plane leveled out at a new altitude and began its second level cruise phase, lasting 182 minutes while traversing 1,252 nautical miles.

Further into the journey, the aircraft climbed once more from 34,051 feet to 35,554 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, achieving a rise of 1,503 feet. This ascent took place at Latitude -25.5904985 and Longitude -32.8204645. After this climb, the plane began another level cruise phase, this time covering 522 nautical miles in 76 minutes while operating at the higher altitude.

As the flight continued, the aircraft initiated its descent phase from 35,305 feet above sea level to 1,320 feet, decreasing by a significant 33,985 feet within 20 minutes. This phase of the flight started 13 miles south of Sao Fidelis, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Upon approaching its destination, the Boeing 777-300 made a final approach to runway 28 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport from the east. The aircraft landed smoothly on the 4,008-meter runway, touching down 304 meters beyond the touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed of 149 knots was a little fast, the other parameters such as runway alignment, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate were satisfactory.

Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied towards the parking area at a moderate pace, covering a short 1-nautical-mile distance in 7 minutes. In summary, the Boeing 777-300 executed a successful long-haul flight from Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro, covering 3,340 nautical miles using 71,086 kilograms of fuel in a total journey time of 516 minutes.

Landing on runway 28 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport in the Boeing 777-300ER
Landing Score 91.45 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport on runway 28, achieving a score of 91.5%. The approach to the runway from the east, heading 254.0°, was initiated 4 nautical miles away at 1,289 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, it was noted that the aircraft touched down 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. Although this was slightly beyond the target spot, the touchdown speed was recorded at 149 knots, which was a bit faster than ideal. Nonetheless, the touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating a somewhat steep descent.

Another aspect of the landing that stood out was the runway alignment, which was described as very good. This suggests that the aircraft was well-positioned and aligned with the runway prior to touchdown, ensuring a smooth and controlled landing. The conditions during the landing were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a moderate headwind of 6 knots.

The overall landing distance of 1,964 meters was calculated to be 49% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft had sufficient space to come to a stop after touchdown, avoiding any potential issues with runway length. The rollout alignment, which refers to the aircraft's positioning and direction after touchdown, was deemed perfect.
