Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 156 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 193 kt, 37 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 156 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 282 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
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 2,012 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,012 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 786 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,152 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 193 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead El Prat de Llobregat in Catalonia, Spain, where the aircraft climbed from 1,105 feet above sea level to 33,637 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,532 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 24 miles east of Begur in Catalonia, Spain, and lasted for 46 minutes, covering a distance of 329 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles north of Boltigen in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The descent from 33,105 feet above sea level to 2,678 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,427 feet, took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the northwest, heading 137.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport, which had a length of 3,138 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above target and the threshold speed being good at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 328 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 330 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,889 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 482 nautical miles, which was covered in 85 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,570 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 14, achieving a score of 90.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach speed was well-managed, with a threshold speed of 140 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the threshold height at 63 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown point was located 328 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may be attributed to the aircraft's speed and altitude at the time of touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance was 1,889 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for large aircraft like the Boeing 777-300. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was brought to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, such as maintaining a more accurate approach path and reducing the touchdown distance.
