Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 172 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 200 kt, 28 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 172 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,952 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,952 m of the 3,210 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport, EGLL. The Boeing 777-300 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,836 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 200 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it passed over several locations, including Harmondsworth in Greater London, England. The enroute climb started at an altitude of 1,086 feet above sea level and increased to 5,003 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles, before starting another climb at Guildford in Surrey, England. This climb took the aircraft from 5,055 feet to 31,331 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, passing over locations such as Saint-Jouin-Bruneval in Normandie, France, and Illizi in Algeria. The climb and cruise phases of the flight were interspersed with periods of level flight, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed. The aircraft also made several descents, including one from 38,343 feet to 4,278 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at Cape Town International Airport, FACT, was made from the north, heading 165.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,210 meters long, with a threshold height of 55 feet above ground level. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,869 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,356 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 676 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 85,032 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 55 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 138 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was located 164 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,869 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
