Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 18° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 2,028 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,028 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 573 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 08R at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR). The takeoff distance was 1,203 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, where the aircraft climbed from 927 feet above sea level to 32,462 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,535 feet in 15 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 15 miles northwest of Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted 116 minutes, covering 1,033 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 32,759 feet above sea level to 34,574 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,816 feet in 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started at a new location, Latitude: 63.6183413, Longitude: -99.5238162, and lasted 197 minutes, covering 1,620 nautical miles.
The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 35,084 feet above sea level to 37,066 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,982 feet in 3 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started at a new location, Latitude: 68.3611046, Longitude: -28.8017956, and lasted 153 minutes, covering 1,235 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 80 miles northwest of De Koog, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and the aircraft descended from 36,751 feet above sea level to 1,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,478 feet in 24 minutes and covering 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was from the north, heading 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18R was successful, with a touchdown point 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 147 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,946 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 9 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 4,163 nautical miles, taking 529 minutes, and the aircraft used 63,739 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with a heading of 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 147 kt. The touchdown point was located 155 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 145 kt was also a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -308 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.0 meters, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended landing spot. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 kt at 130°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,946 meters was 55% of the available runway length of 3,527 meters. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have benefited from a slightly longer runway to accommodate the firm touchdown rate and slight misalignment.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.3 meters. This may have been a result of the initial misalignment during touchdown, and could have been mitigated with more precise control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement to achieve a higher score.
