Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 33 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 33 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 33 ft to touchdown.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,049 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 689 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 34L at RJAA Narita International Airport in Japan. The takeoff distance was 1,611 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 240°. There was a slight crosswind of 5 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead RJAA Narita International Airport. The climb from 1,097 feet above sea level to 7,007 feet above sea level took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-east of RJRY Ryugasaki Airport in Japan and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 6,990 feet above sea level to 34,846 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,856 feet in 19 minutes and covering 154 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, lasting for 78 minutes and covering a distance of 739 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,012 feet above sea level to 36,844 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,831 feet in 2 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise continued, lasting for 114 minutes and covering a distance of 1,052 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,010 feet above sea level to 38,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,977 feet in 5 minutes and covering 47 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise continued, lasting for 265 minutes and covering a distance of 2,289 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 38,999 feet above sea level to 40,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,982 feet in 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, lasting for 140 minutes and covering a distance of 1,224 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile west of Traverse City in the United States. The descent from 40,998 feet above sea level to 1,925 feet above sea level took 32 minutes and covered a distance of 188 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport was from the north-east, with a heading of 209.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21L was successful, with a touchdown point 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -188 feet per minute, which was also good.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 230°. There was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, but a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,370 meters, which was 45% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,765 nautical miles, and the
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW) on runway 21L. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 209.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway.
The touchdown point was located 272 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, suggesting that the aircraft's rate of descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to pose any significant challenges for the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not adversely affected.
The total landing distance of 1,370 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal excess energy being dissipated during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the landing, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory under the given weather conditions.
