Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 138 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 180 kt against a rotation target of 138 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 138 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 322 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,013 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 644 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 16L at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru. The takeoff distance was 1,387 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 180 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and 8-knot headwind at 170 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,089 feet above sea level to 40,128 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,039 feet in 19 minutes and covering 123 nautical miles. This climb phase took place over the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 105 minutes and covered 856 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 15 miles southwest of Huancavelica, Peru. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 40,309 feet above sea level to 42,336 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,027 feet in 3 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles. This climb phase took place 14 miles southwest of Fazenda Santa Cruz do Pessoê Airport in Vila Bela Da Santíssima Trindade, Bolivia.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 190 minutes and covered 1,466 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 2 miles south of Fazenda São Francisco Airport in Vila Bela Da Santíssima Trindade, Brazil. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 18 miles southeast of Taperoa, Brazil. The descent took place from 42,066 feet above sea level to 1,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 40,755 feet in 21 minutes and covering 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport took place from the north, with the aircraft heading 162.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 took place with a runway length of 3,013 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 128 knots. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute, which was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31°C temperature and 14-knot headwind at 130 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,426 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,583 nautical miles, taking 348 minutes and using 33,310 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 knots. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall performance. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable and controlled descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing procedures.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's performance, and the pilot was able to maintain control throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,426 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-200ER at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport was satisfactory, with some areas for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
