Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 464 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 621 m past the threshold, 164 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,663 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,663 m of the 3,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 621 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 31L at KJFK, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 167 kt and left the ground after traveling a takeoff distance of 683 m, which represented 20 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 20 °C with wind 7 kt from 350 °, a 5 kt headwind and a 5 kt crosswind.
The initial climb began 1 mile south-east of Howard Beach, climbing from 1,101 ft asl to 37,007 ft asl - an increase of 35,907 ft - in 26 minutes while covering 187 nm.
Cruise level was established 14 miles south of KACK and was maintained for 98 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 840 nm.
A second climb segment started at latitude 45.5807362, longitude -51.6892562, raising the aircraft from 37,232 ft asl to 39,007 ft asl - a gain of 1,775 ft - in 4 minutes over a distance of 33 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment commenced at latitude 45.7876644, longitude -50.8711654 and continued for 241 minutes, covering 2,081 nm.
Descent began 1 mile south-east of Dovercourt, with the aircraft descending from 39,000 ft asl to 1,265 ft asl - a loss of 37,736 ft - in 25 minutes while traveling 142 nm.
On final approach to runway 18R at EHAM, the aircraft descended from 1,312 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 108 seconds; local weather reported a temperature of 19 °C, wind 13 kt from 139 °, a 9 kt headwind and a 9 kt crosswind.
Landing on runway 18R was achieved with a threshold speed of 139 kt; touchdown occurred 204 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, a vertical rate of minus 93 fpm, and an alignment described as very good. The total landing distance was 1,582 m, representing 45 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 7.6 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 9 minutes, covering a further 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 3,295 nm, required 412 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 34,279 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A330-900 achieved a score of 97.0 % and the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM proceeded from 1,312 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 108 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Good threshold height was recorded and the threshold speed was good at 139 kt. Touchdown occurred 204 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 140 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was excellent at minus 93 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Total landing distance was 1,582 m, representing 45 % of the 3,526 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 m from the centreline. Local weather was temperature 19 °C, wind 13 kt at 139°, with a 9 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.
Reduce the touchdown speed toward the target to eliminate the slight excess, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment during rollout to correct the 7.6 m deviation.
