Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 87 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 87 ft, 42 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.

Side view — the last 1,752 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,752 m of the 2,454 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 09R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The takeoff distance was 1,393 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 170°. There was a slight crosswind of 4 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Mauregard in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,315 feet above sea level to 34,001 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 82 minutes and covered a distance of 661 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 2 miles northwest of the town of Saint-Evroult-de-Montfort in the Normandie region of France. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from an altitude of 33,998 feet to 35,021 feet, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 304 minutes and covered a distance of 2,387 nautical miles. This phase started at a location with coordinates 54.0645385° latitude and -15.2870052° longitude. After this long cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, which started 1 mile east of the town of Wyoming in the state of Rhode Island, United States. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,997 feet to 1,296 feet.
The final approach to runway 31R at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) in New York was made from the southeast, with a heading of 301.0° at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 31R, which had a length of 2,454 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 383 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -294 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 300°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,667 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took just 1 minute to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,298 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 440 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 53,931 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31R at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) with a score of 99.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 146 knots, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 383 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's landing. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made some adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a consistent and accurate course throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have significantly impacted the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable course and touched down smoothly.
The total landing distance of 1,667 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had effectively controlled the aircraft's deceleration and maintained a stable course throughout the rollout. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and touchdown.
