Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 191 m past the target, landing at 648 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,657 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,657 m of the 3,348 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 7 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then rolled down runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 186 knots. The takeoff distance was 1,863 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a 5-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it followed a series of enroute climbs and level cruises. The first enroute climb started 1 mile north-west of Aalsmeerderbrug, Netherlands, and reached an altitude of 30,786 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 167 minutes and covering 1,423 nautical miles. This pattern of climbs and level cruises continued as the aircraft traversed Europe, Turkey, and Kyrgyzstan, with each climb resulting in a brief increase in altitude before resuming a level cruise. The final enroute climb started 40 miles south of Luzhou Yunlong Airport, China, and reached an altitude of 36,691 feet.
The aircraft then began its descent into Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, descending from 37,004 feet to 1,420 feet in 21 minutes. The final approach was made to runway 23L, with the aircraft touching down 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,573 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 2 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,225 nautical miles, taking 739 minutes and using 102,201 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 23L at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and speed of 144 kt. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north east, heading 231.0° at 4 nm and 1,325 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 230 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -92 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35 °C and wind at 7 kt from 260°, resulted in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 6 kt. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by these conditions. The total landing distance of 1,573 m was 47% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 97.2%, reflecting the satisfactory approach quality, good touchdown characteristics, and excellent touchdown rate. The minor deviation from the centreline and the slightly longer than average landing distance were the only factors that prevented a higher score.
