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 558 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 149 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 156 kt, 7 kt above 149 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 149 kt at the threshold.
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 2,095 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,095 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R, taking off with a distance of 1,991 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 184 knots, with a local temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. The initial climb phase began overhead San Bruno, California, where the aircraft ascended from 1,003 feet above sea level to 29,833 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute climb and cruise phases were characterized by a series of altitude increases and level-offs, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 35,993 feet. The longest level cruise phase lasted 315 minutes, covering a distance of 2,684 nautical miles. The descent phase began 48 miles northeast of Great Mercury Island, where the aircraft descended from 36,000 feet to 1,300 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05R at Auckland International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 71.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05R was successful, with a touchdown point 76 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 2,021 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,803 nautical miles, taking 729 minutes and consuming 107,299 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport, showcasing a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 157 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing speed. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a fair touchdown rate of -202 fpm, which, although not optimal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 149 kt, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The touchdown point was 76 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, was still within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a moderate headwind of 10 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 2,021 m, accounting for 62% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained excellent control throughout the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.4%, reflecting a minor deviation from the ideal landing speed and touchdown point.
