Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 334 m past the target, landing at 791 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.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 2,089 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,089 m of the 3,653 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 791 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kangerlussuaq Airport, Greenland, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 27, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 900-meter stretch of the runway that comprised 32% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 157 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the 2-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,057 feet above sea level to 37,946 feet, a vertical increase of 36,890 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded 1 mile west of Kangerlussuaq, after which the aircraft transitioned into its enroute level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 37,946 feet for 171 minutes while covering a distance of 1,284 nautical miles. The cruise phase came to an end 19 miles southeast of Kanawata Aeroparc Airport, Quebec, Canada, where the aircraft initiated its descent to 1,517 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,481 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 225.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down 373 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 knots and a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,515 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 224 minutes and a fuel consumption of 23,881 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 24 at CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was also well-managed, coming in at 141 kt, which is within the acceptable range. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -186 fpm was within the desired parameters.
The touchdown point was located 373 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the runway touchdown position was only 5.0 m off centreline, indicating a relatively good alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the absence of any significant crosswind component.
The total landing distance of 2,006 m, which accounts for 55% of the runway length, is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was particularly noteworthy, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 90.1%.
