Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 177 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 287 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 22R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) in New York. The takeoff distance was 1,189 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KJFK, where the aircraft climbed from 1,041 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,868 ft asl, an increase of 33,827 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of East Douglas, Massachusetts, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 202 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, starting overhead Hermon, Maine, where it climbed from 35,060 ft asl to 37,039 ft asl, an increase of 1,980 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Enfield, Maine, and lasted for 171 minutes, covering a distance of 1,483 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, starting at a latitude of 56.0820002 and longitude of -32.8224058, where it climbed from 36,748 ft asl to 38,380 ft asl, an increase of 1,632 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting at a latitude of 56.0727074 and longitude of -32.3462149, and lasted for 111 minutes, covering a distance of 956 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, starting 28 miles east of Arklow, Ireland, where it climbed from 39,579 ft asl to 41,283 ft asl, an increase of 1,704 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 18 miles northwest of New Quay, Wales, and lasted for 234 minutes, covering a distance of 1,967 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 69 miles south of R084 Cyprus Static Carrier, where it descended from 40,928 ft asl to 8,249 ft asl, a decrease of 32,679 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 18 miles west of Netanya, Israel, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Shefayim, Israel, where it descended from 8,029 ft asl to 1,383 ft asl, a decrease of 6,646 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26 at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG), flying from the east at a heading of 260.0° and at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,053 meters long, and the threshold height was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 133 knots
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) on runway 26. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway.
The touchdown point was located 287 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in the landing. The touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,339 meters was 44% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to smoothly and steadily bring the aircraft to a stop after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a touchdown point outside the designated zone.
