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 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.
What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.
Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle
See Arrival Final 4
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,538 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,538 m of the 2,246 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 04L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The takeoff distance was 891 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Springfield Gardens in New York, United States. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,040 feet above sea level to 38,664 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,625 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 29 miles south of Chilmark in Massachusetts, United States. This phase lasted for 111 minutes and covered a distance of 1,015 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from a location defined by latitude 42.885996 and longitude -48.1973365. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 39,169 feet above sea level to 41,158 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,989 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a location defined by latitude 42.8291672 and longitude -47.4352244. This phase lasted for 108 minutes and covered a distance of 929 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 10 miles south of Santo Antao in the Azores, Portugal. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 41,324 feet above sea level to 1,780 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,544 feet.
The final approach to runway 30 at João Paulo II Airport (LPPD) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 292.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,547 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30, which had a length of 2,246 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, and the touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The total landing distance was 1,460 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,230 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 316 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 28,286 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at LPPD João Paulo II Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,547 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than ideal. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth, at -144 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 330°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, both at 2 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted.
The total landing distance was 1,460 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling during the approach and touchdown phases.
