Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 179 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 203 kt against a rotation target of 179 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 179 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 94 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 94 ft, 49 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,700 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,700 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,052 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking position to the runway at LSZH Zürich Airport. The taxiing process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles. Once at the runway, the aircraft initiated the departure roll, using runway 34 and covering 70% of its total length. The takeoff distance was recorded at 2,281 meters.
As the aircraft lifted off, it reached a liftoff speed of 203 knots. Local weather conditions at the time indicated a temperature of 16°C, with wind speeds of 0 knots at 180°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, commencing at an altitude of 2,496 feet above sea level and ascending to 31,344 feet, an increase of 28,849 feet in approximately 18 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
Following this climb, the aircraft achieved its enroute level cruise at a location 1 mile south of Ohlstadt, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 568 minutes and covered a significant distance of 4,747 nautical miles. The cruise altitude remained constant, indicating a stable flight path.
As the aircraft approached the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, it underwent another climb, increasing its altitude from 30,890 feet to 36,756 feet in a mere 5 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. This climb was followed by a level cruise phase at a location 50 miles northeast of VO94 Campbell Bay Airport, with the aircraft cruising for an additional 74 minutes and covering 572 nautical miles.
The enroute descent from Singapore began when the aircraft initiated its descent from 36,860 feet above sea level to 916 feet, a decrease of 35,944 feet in 21 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles. The descent was carried out in a strategic manner to ensure a safe and efficient arrival at the destination.
Upon approaching WSSS Singapore Changi Airport, the aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 20R, heading at an angle of 202.0° and at an altitude of 891 feet above ground level (agl). This final approach was conducted in accordance with predetermined flight paths and procedures, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
After touching down on runway 20R, the aircraft continued its rollout, covering a distance of 2,622 meters or 80% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, while the touchdown rate was satisfactory at -152 feet per minute. Notably, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by approximately 14.7 meters from the centerline, but the aircraft managed to stay aligned during the rollout.
Once the roll was completed, the aircraft taxiied to the parking position, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile and taking 3 minutes. The total flight distance was recorded at 5,592 nautical miles, with the flight lasting 697 minutes and using approximately 104,994 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at runway 20R of WSSS Singapore Changi Airport with a satisfactory score of 81.4%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from a distance of 4 nautical miles, at an altitude of 891 feet above ground level, with a heading of 202.0°. This indicates that the aircraft was approaching the runway from the north as planned.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 146 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located approximately 640 meters beyond the initial touchdown zone, which is an acceptable distance considering the given runway length of 3,273 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in achieving the ideal touchdown speed.
The touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute was satisfactory, as it indicates a gradual descent onto the runway. Unfortunately, the aircraft experienced a slight misalignment from the centreline, both during touchdown and rollout. During touchdown, the aircraft veered off the centreline by 14.7 meters, while during rollout, the alignment was off by 14.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot and humid, with a temperature of 32°C and a gentle wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind was minimal, with a speed of 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. These conditions suggest that the aircraft encountered a relatively calm landing environment, which can contribute to a smoother touchdown.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, considering the aircraft's score of 81.4%. While there were some issues related to touchdown speed and alignment, the aircraft's touchdown rate and overall distance traveled were satisfactory, indicating a successful landing. However, the pilots should review their techniques to minimize the touchdown and rollout misalignments, with a view to improving the landing score in the future.
