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 15 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 197 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 197 fpm next time
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 5,097 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,097 ft of the 11,947 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,159 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 15R at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) in six minutes, covering a distance of one nautical mile.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 15R, accelerating over 7,701 ft (69 % of the runway) before rotating at 172 kt. Ambient conditions were 84 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 240°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb began one mile south of OKKK, with the airplane climbing from 1,170 ft asl to 33,987 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,816 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 116 nm.
The first cruise segment started 28 nm north-east of Hafar Al-Batin, lasting 63 minutes and encompassing 487 nm of level flight.
A second climb was initiated 24 nm north-east of OJHR H4 Air Base, raising the aircraft from 34,001 ft asl to 35,634 ft asl, a gain of 1,633 ft in two minutes over a distance of 12 nm.
The subsequent cruise leg began again 28 nm north-east of OJHR H4 Air Base and continued for 250 minutes, during which the airplane covered 1,947 nm.
Descent commenced 24 nm north-west of Middelkerke, with the flight descending from 36,002 ft asl to 4,098 ft asl, a loss of 31,905 ft in 18 minutes while traveling 104 nm.
A brief cruise over the City of London followed, lasting two minutes and covering five nautical miles.
The next descent segment started one mile north-west of Earlsfield, dropping from 3,294 ft asl to 1,198 ft asl, a decrease of 2,095 ft in two minutes across five nautical miles.
During the final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL), the aircraft descended from 1,124 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 101 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27L was executed with a threshold speed of 150 kt; touchdown occurred at 1,158 ft down the runway at 143 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 198 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather was 59 °F with a wind of 9 kt from 280°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 9 kt. The total landing roll measured 4,837 ft, representing 40 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout was completed with perfect alignment, after which the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in seven minutes, covering one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 2,685 nm, required 374 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 100,247 lb of fuel.
