Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 266 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 172 fpm.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,137 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,137 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,328 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,746 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 180 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 305°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, and the aircraft climbed from 1,002 feet above sea level to 32,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,996 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 181 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of the Blackwell Land Company Airport in Lost Hills, California, and lasted for 163 minutes, covering a distance of 1,469 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 3 miles west of Potrero del Llano, Mexico, and climbed from 33,000 feet to 34,911 feet, an increase of 1,911 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northwest of Cazones de Herrera, Mexico, and lasted for 159 minutes, covering a distance of 1,340 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 72 miles southeast of Cambutal, Panama, and climbed from 35,282 feet to 36,634 feet, an increase of 1,351 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 87 miles southeast of Cambutal, Panama, and lasted for 182 minutes, covering a distance of 1,461 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 7 miles northwest of Ji Parana, Brazil, and climbed from 37,005 feet to 39,003 feet, an increase of 1,998 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles east of Presidente Medici, Brazil, and lasted for 156 minutes, covering a distance of 1,195 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 8 miles west of Sao Joao del Rei, Brazil, and descended from 39,007 feet to 1,433 feet, a decrease of 37,574 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport (SBGL) was from the northwest, heading 127.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,398 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown point 914 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,058 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,848 nautical
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 127.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,398 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, the touchdown point was 914 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also a bit fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 280°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 and 2 knots respectively, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,058 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed and descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and descent was demonstrated by the good touchdown rate and short landing distance.
