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 5.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with firm, progressive back pressure, raising the nose further through the flare band and holding it until touchdown.
What happened: The nose was raised only 0.8° and little of the sink was taken out, so the aircraft was flown onto the runway; an under-flare like this usually carries through into a hard touchdown, as this one did at 1.4 g.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, progressive reduction in sink through the normal flare band.
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 six 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 1,581 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,581 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 277 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.45 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The B772 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 36L with a take-off distance of 1,976 m (46 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather at departure was 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 074°, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 0 kt.
The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 33 seconds, averaging 1,598 fpm and reaching 161 kt at the top of the climb.
Climb continued from 2,958 ft asl to 34,014 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 121 nm, beginning 2 mi south-east of San Sebastian de los Reyes.
Level flight at 34,000 ft asl lasted 26 minutes, covering 195 nm, beginning 2 mi south of Banares.
A further climb from 34,010 ft asl to 37,812 ft asl took 3 minutes, covering 25 nm, beginning 63 mi south-west of Saint-Clement-des-Baleines.
Level flight at 38,000 ft asl continued for 29 minutes, covering 226 nm, beginning 40 mi south of LFEY Île d'Yeu Airport.
Descent from 38,004 ft asl to 1,365 ft asl was completed in 27 minutes, covering 136 nm, beginning 7 mi north of Urville-Nacqueville, with brief level-offs at 5,000 ft asl and 2,500 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 09L at EGLL began at 1,329 ft agl and descended to 57 ft agl in 117 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,992 ft agl, 165 kt; final flap position 6 at 2,393 ft agl, 155 kt.
Landing on runway 09L (runway length 3,602 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt. The flare was very poor, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 277 m from the threshold at 134 kt, a little fast, with a hard rate of -419 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good; no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,484 m (41 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 21 °C, wind 1 kt from 106°, crosswind 0 kt, headwind 1 kt.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The flight covered 712 nm in 114 minutes and used 12,890 kg of fuel.
