Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 155 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 176 kt against a rotation target of 155 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 155 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 3,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 34R at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 1,860 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 10 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSEA. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 165 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,370 feet above sea level to 34,533 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,163 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 19 miles north of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 284 minutes, covering a distance of 2,312 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time 70 miles southeast of Qasigiannguit, Greenland. The climb took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,999 feet above sea level to 36,836 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,836 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 114 miles northeast of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, and lasted for 128 minutes, covering a distance of 1,027 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time 72 miles north of Hvannasund, Faroe Islands. The climb took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 36,997 feet above sea level to 38,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,998 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 69 miles northeast of Hvannasund, Faroe Islands, and lasted for 284 minutes, covering a distance of 2,370 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 32 miles north of Kafr ash Shaykh, Egypt. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,999 feet above sea level to 1,745 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,254 feet.
The final approach to runway 05R at Cairo International Airport (HECA) was made from the southwest, heading 49.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,394 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 125 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -142 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,166 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 6,059 nautical miles, and the flight took 761 minutes. The aircraft used 86,839 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER approached runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 49.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,394 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 133 kt. The aircraft flared and touched down 125 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which was good, and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 142 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off the centreline by 4.6 m. Local weather was temperature 12 °C, wind 2 kt at 30 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 2 kt.
Touchdown occurred with the parameters noted above and the aircraft’s runway touchdown position was misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,166 m, representing 29 % of the 3,998 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good and the aircraft decelerated within the remaining runway length, completing the rollout safely.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the lateral deviation to keep the touchdown point within the designated zone and improving centreline tracking to eliminate the 4.6 m offset. Maintaining the current speed and flare technique will preserve the smooth touchdown already achieved.
