Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 146 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 170 kt, 24 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 146 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 40 ft.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 40 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 563 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.
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 2,477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,477 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,149 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 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 32 at GBYD Banjul International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,031 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Banjul, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of the airport. The climb took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,099 feet above sea level to 36,408 feet, an increase of 35,309 feet. The climb covered 149 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 30 miles southwest of Saint-Louis, Senegal. This cruise phase lasted 41 minutes and covered 341 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 45 miles northeast of GQAK Akjoujt Airport in Mauritania. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 36,484 feet to 37,522 feet, an increase of 1,038 feet. The climb covered 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 60 miles northeast of Akjoujt Airport. This cruise phase lasted 76 minutes and covered 625 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, beginning another enroute climb, this time starting 10 miles north of Oulad Teima in Morocco. The climb took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 37,468 feet to 39,454 feet, an increase of 1,986 feet. The climb covered 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 33 miles north of GMMO Taroudant Airport in Morocco. This cruise phase lasted 149 minutes and covered 1,278 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Drocourt in France. The descent took 27 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,349 feet to 1,261 feet, a decrease of 38,089 feet. The descent covered 139 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, heading 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 722 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 22 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 21 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 2,385 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft took 12 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 2,586 nautical miles, taking 347 minutes, and the aircraft used 36,751 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving an overall score of 85.7%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 61 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 142 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 722 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall performance.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center by 8.3 meters. These deviations are relatively minor and do not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 22 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 21 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing performance of the aircraft.
Overall, the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory landing performance at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown speed and rate, despite some minor deviations in alignment, is a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots involved.
