Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 8.6 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.6 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 582 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north-east of Vijfhuizen, a town in the province of Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,015 feet above sea level to 32,956 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Muelheim, a city in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This phase lasted for 106 minutes and covered a distance of 858 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 32,870 feet to 34,564 feet, an increase of 1,693 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. This climb started 3 miles east of Corovode, a town in the Qarku i Beratit region of Albania.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north-east of Permet, a town in the Qarku i Gjirokastres region of Albania. This phase lasted for 188 minutes and covered a distance of 1,586 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,156 feet to 36,070 feet, an increase of 914 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. This climb started 89 miles north-east of Tokar, a town in the Red Sea region of Sudan.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 82 miles north-east of Tokar, and lasted for 111 minutes, covering a distance of 895 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,981 feet to 36,481 feet, an increase of 499 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. This climb started 34 miles east of HATU Sabarei Airport Turmi, a small airport in the Marsabit District of Kenya.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 39 miles south-east of HATU Sabarei Airport Turmi, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 356 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 13 miles south-west of Kajiado, a town in the Kajiado District of Kenya. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,699 feet to 4,220 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 88.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 3,587 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 171 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -197 feet per minute
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 147 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 27°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft's performance was still within acceptable limits.
The total landing distance of 1,034 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the desired parameters.
