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 6.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,529 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at Paris-Orly Airport (LFPO). The Boeing 777-300 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,563 meters, which was 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 186 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 91 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Rungis, a town in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb began at an altitude of 1,254 feet above sea level and reached 10,249 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 10,249 feet to 18,027 feet, an increase of 7,778 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The cruise phase that followed lasted for 122 minutes and covered a significant distance of 766 nautical miles, taking the aircraft over the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent phase, beginning 8 miles south of Fuengirola, a town in the Andalusia region of Spain. The descent was steep, with the aircraft dropping from 17,983 feet to 1,559 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a climb phase, this time from 1,535 feet to 1,982 feet, an increase of 447 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport (LXGB) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,911 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,529 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 212 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 281 meters, and the touchdown speed was 207 knots, which was also excessively fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,071 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,099 meters, which was 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
In total, the flight distance was 847 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used 22,186 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Gibraltar Airport, with a score of 81.3%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,911 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was executed with precision, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 212 knots, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 207 knots was also excessively fast, which may have resulted in a heavier touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate was indeed very heavy, at -1,071 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the recommended rate. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have resulted in a longer rollout distance. On the positive side, the touchdown distance was good at 281 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. Overall, while there were some areas of concern during the landing, the aircraft's score of 81.3% indicates that it was still a successful landing.
