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 9.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 2,329 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,329 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 695 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 180 knots after covering 75% of the runway's length.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots blowing from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Arverne, New York, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,031 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,350 feet, an increase of 34,319 feet, in 18 minutes while covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of New Ashford, Massachusetts, and lasted for 277 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 2,550 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 3 miles south of Oughterard, Ireland, where it ascended from 35,492 feet to 37,435 feet, an increase of 1,944 feet, in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Lackagh, Ireland, and lasted for 27 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 227 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 2 miles north of Nantwich, England, and descended from 37,473 feet to 7,419 feet, a decrease of 30,054 feet, in 17 minutes while covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Berkhamsted, England, and lasted for just 3 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 1 mile north of Bourne End, England, and descended from 6,559 feet to 1,359 feet, a decrease of 5,200 feet, in 5 minutes while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90° at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on the runway, which had a length of 3,591 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 285 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots blowing from a direction of 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,254 meters, which was 63% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The post-landing taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach to runway 09L was conducted from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 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 148 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 285 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm), which was deemed fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,254 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.3%. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters, including a slightly above-target threshold speed and a touchdown speed that was a little fast.
