Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 171 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 195 kt against a rotation target of 171 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 171 kt.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,242 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 23 at FNLU Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport in Luanda, Angola. The takeoff distance was 1,639 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 195 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,324 feet above sea level to 33,253 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,929 feet in 17 minutes, covering 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 88 miles southwest of N'zeto, Angola, and lasted 47 minutes, covering 402 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 33,252 feet to 35,100 feet, an increase of 1,849 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again at a new location, lasting 199 minutes and covering 1,598 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with another climb from 35,053 feet to 36,881 feet, an increase of 1,828 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, lasting 242 minutes and covering 1,846 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,373 feet to 39,392 feet, an increase of 2,018 feet in 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, lasting 78 minutes and covering 607 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 81 miles northeast of TFFA La Désirade Airport in Guadeloupe, Guadeloupe. The descent from 39,388 feet to 1,360 feet took 22 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at TAPA V C Bird International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 228.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 214 meters and a touchdown speed of 127 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -278 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,187 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,762 nautical miles, taking 622 minutes, and the aircraft used 79,716 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at TAPA V C Bird International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 228.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully executed a good threshold height and threshold speed of 132 knots, indicating a well-controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was 214 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
One notable issue during the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline. This could be due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,187 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining control during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more gradual descent and aligning the aircraft with the centerline during the rollout phase.
