Flight Score
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 503 m past the target, landing at 960 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.
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 2,086 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,086 m of the 3,014 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 960 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, the Boeing 777F began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 16L, utilizing 60% of the 2,355-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 189 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Rome, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 30,953 feet in 18 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted for 67 minutes and covered 573 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another climb, this time from 31,010 feet to 32,996 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 416 minutes, covering 3,518 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with further altitude increases and level phases, before initiating its descent into Tokyo Haneda International Airport.
The final approach to runway 34R at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft touching down 549 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -163 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,010 meters, utilizing 67% of the 2,998-meter runway. Following a taxiing period of 1 minute, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 6,055 nautical miles, using 45,486 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 725 minutes to complete the journey.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 34R at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 145 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 135 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -163 fpm was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
However, the touchdown point was located 549 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to a slight over-rotation or a slight delay in the touchdown. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 11.6 m from the centreline, which could have been caused by a slight deviation in the approach path or a slight drift during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a gentle tailwind of 5 kt, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,010 m was 67% of the available runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a slight deviation in the rollout path. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 84.8%.
