Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 204 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 49 kt fast at 253 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 204 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed is back to 140 kt before the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: Speed was still fast at the stabilisation gate, and crossing the threshold 19 kt above target usually carries a fast touchdown with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at the threshold.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at KSFO, a movement that lasted 16 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 177 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,014 m, which represented 30 % of the runway; ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 290 °, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 14 kt head-wind.
The initial climb began overhead San Bruno, climbing from 937 ft asl to 30,801 ft asl, an increase of 29,864 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 76 nm.
Level cruise commenced 2 miles south-west of San Juan Bautista and was maintained for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft progressed 72 nm.
A second climb segment started 9 miles south-west of Coalinga, raising altitude from 31,400 ft asl to 35,001 ft asl, an increase of 3,601 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 25 nm.
The next cruise phase began 4 miles west of 36CN Blackwell Land Company Airport Lost Hills, lasting 5 minutes and covering 39 nm.
Descent began 8 miles west of Taft Heights, descending from 34,943 ft asl to 1,359 ft asl, a loss of 33,584 ft in 25 minutes while traversing 126 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX was flown from the east, on a heading of 263.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,218 ft agl.
Landing on runway 24R, which is 2,713 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 159 kt; touchdown was recorded 59 m beyond the touchdown zone at 151 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 284 fpm and perfect alignment, while local weather reported 21 °C, wind 5 kt from 139 °, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt tail-wind. The total landing distance was 1,165 m, representing 43 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, completing the deceleration phase after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 348 nm, required 74 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 8,792 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 entered the final approach to runway 24R at KLAX from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,218 ft agl, with temperature 21 °C, wind from 139° at 5 kt, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component. The approach was noted as having a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was well above target at 159 kt.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained the elevated speed of 159 kt, which was above the desired target, and proceeded to flare without further comment on height or rate.
Touchdown occurred 59 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 151 kt described as fast. The vertical speed at touchdown was fair at minus 284 fpm and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,165 m, representing 43 % of the 2,713 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to meet the target values, aiming to achieve a touchdown within the designated zone rather than beyond it. Maintaining the correct speed envelope will also help keep the touchdown point closer to the aim point and preserve the high overall score.
