Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 169 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 188 kt, 19 kt past the 169 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 169 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power on approach to bring the threshold speed back to 143 kt.
What happened: Threshold speed was fast at 149 kt against 143 kt, the flare then started early at 61 ft, and the touchdown usually follows long - this flight's touchdown was 2,688 ft past the aim point, 1,188 ft beyond target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,157 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,157 ft of the 11,816 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,688 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 46 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 18L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 204 knots. The takeoff distance was 6,548 feet, utilizing 49% of the runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 88°F and a wind of 4 knots at 109°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the departure airport, reaching an altitude of 32,994 feet in 16 minutes and covering 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 78 minutes and covering 703 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise was repeated several times, with the aircraft climbing to higher altitudes and then leveling off to maintain a steady speed. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 33,307 feet to 34,987 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 4,299 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 530 minutes.
The aircraft began its descent 1 mile southwest of Newcastle under Lyme, England, and landed on runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport. The landing distance was 6,936 feet, utilizing 59% of the runway. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 150 knots, and the touchdown point was 1,367 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total fuel consumption for the flight was 148,939 pounds.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -306 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 144 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 150 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
The touchdown point was 1,367 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 54 °F and a light headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying on the centerline throughout the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 6,936 ft was 59% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 90.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and touchdown speeds, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated in maintaining control and alignment throughout the landing.
