What went well

Touched down at -57 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 51 ft and 140 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.57 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Taxi — peak speed in a turn 27 kt at 2 %, peak taxi speed 47 kt at 15 %, −4.87 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,053 m at 0 %, −1.02 points
Departure Climb 3 — Landing gear up at 553 ft agl at 74 %, climb speed 156 kt against 179 kt at 89 %, −0.82 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.

What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 553 ft agl.

Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 596 m past the target, landing at 1,053 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

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 stabilisation gates

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.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 24L at FNBJ Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto Int, demonstrating a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,298 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the heading of 233.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 513 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot at 129°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.

The total landing distance of 1,658 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stabilize the aircraft during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 89.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
