Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 166 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 185 kt, 19 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 166 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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 2,059 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,059 m of the 3,376 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 831 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23L at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX), with the aircraft utilizing 99% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff. The takeoff distance was 3,392 meters, and the liftoff speed was 185 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Mexico City, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 205 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Mexico City and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 25,674 feet from 8,314 feet above sea level to 33,988 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Santa Catarina and lasted for 60 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 508 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 33,824 feet above sea level to 36,201 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,377 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey with another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Morelos Airport and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 547 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 5 miles west of Santa Isabel and continuing for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles and a decrease in altitude of 25,539 feet from 35,944 feet above sea level to 10,405 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting just 3 minutes, as it flew 3 miles east of San Clemente, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, starting overhead John Wayne Orange County International Airport (KSNA) and continuing for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles and a decrease in altitude of 8,530 feet from 9,963 feet above sea level to 1,433 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), flying from the east at a heading of 265.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 420 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 280 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,984 meters, which was 59% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,361 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 192 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 24,381 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 25L, achieving a high score of 92.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 143 knots. The touchdown point was located 420 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's engines were well-managed during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,984 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot's landing technique was effective in minimizing the landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 777F's landing at KLAX was a successful operation, with the aircraft performing well in terms of approach and landing performance, touchdown speed, and runway rollout alignment. The favorable weather conditions also contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
