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 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.

Side view — the last 1,640 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,640 m of the 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Boston, Massachusetts, the Boeing 777-300 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 04R. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 178 kt, clearing the runway threshold in 1,298 meters, which accounted for 56% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 5 °C, with a wind speed of 13 kt at 70°, resulting in a 10 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Winthrop, Massachusetts, and continued to ascend to 33,981 ft. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 85 minutes and covered 743 nm, with the aircraft flying 50 miles south of Matinicus Island Airport in Maine. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief climb to 34,657 ft, which was achieved in 2 minutes and 15 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 259 minutes and covered 2,221 nm, with the aircraft flying 64 miles south east of St. Anthony in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The flight continued with a series of enroute descents and level cruises, ultimately descending to 3,249 ft asl before entering the final approach phase to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH).
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 22L at EKCH, with a touchdown distance of 342 m and a touchdown speed of 142 kt. The touchdown rate was hard at -496 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 m from the centreline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 3,254 nm, with a total flight time of 392 minutes and a fuel consumption of 47,694 kg.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 144 kt was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 142 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -496 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 342 m was within the expected range, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 m from the centreline. This slight deviation from the centreline was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 9.0 m off-centre. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,562 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3 °C and wind speeds of 13 kt at 170 °, contributed to a moderate crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 8 kt. The crew's ability to adapt to these conditions and execute a safe landing was evident in the overall score of 93.0%. While there were some minor issues with touchdown speed and alignment, the landing was generally well-executed, and the crew demonstrated a high level of proficiency in handling the aircraft.
