Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 8.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 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 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Side view — the last 1,939 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,939 m of the 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 609 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) in Switzerland. The takeoff distance was 2,493 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Opfikon, a town in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from 2,242 feet above sea level to 29,371 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,129 feet in 16 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Pfaffenhofen, a town in the Tirol region of Austria, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering 644 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 30,238 feet above sea level to 31,467 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,229 feet in 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles, south east of Ciolpani, a town in the Ilfov region of Romania.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north east of Sinesti, a town in the Ialomita region of Romania, and lasted for 184 minutes, covering 1,671 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 31,992 feet above sea level to 33,472 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,481 feet in 2 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles, west of the UT52 Dixie Medical Center Heliport in St George, a town in the Mary region of Turkmenistan.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south west of Bayramaly, a town in the Mary region of Turkmenistan, and lasted for 209 minutes, covering 1,920 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 36,083 feet above sea level to 38,145 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,062 feet in 3 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles, north west of the VYKL Kalay Airport in Kalemyo, a town in the Sagaing Region of Myanmar.
The enroute level cruise started 19 miles south east of Mawlaik, a town in the Sagaing Region of Myanmar, and lasted for 638 minutes, covering 1,530 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 21 miles west of Yuanlin, a town in Taiwan, and descending from 38,129 feet above sea level to 1,396 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,732 feet in 20 minutes and covering 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (RCTP) was made from the north east, heading 229.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23L was successful, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 192 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on runway 23L. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 148 kt, registering at 148 kt. The touchdown point was located 192 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 136 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute was also satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 5 kt from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing process. The total landing distance of 1,857 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off by 8.7 meters from the centerline. These deviations are relatively minor and do not appear to have had any significant impact on the safety of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, with a score of 95.0%. The minor deviations from the ideal landing performance do not detract from the overall success of the landing, and the aircraft's crew can be commended for their skill and attention to detail.
