Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 140 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 179 kt, 39 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 81 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 81 ft, 36 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 418 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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 2,034 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,034 m of the 2,822 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 21 at Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana. The takeoff distance was 1,974 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 179 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Accra, where the aircraft climbed from 1,300 feet above sea level to 6,115 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Gbawe, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began another climb 6 miles south of Nsawam, where it ascended from 6,839 feet to 40,347 feet in 21 minutes, covering 114 nautical miles. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise that lasted 182 minutes and covered 1,466 nautical miles, starting 11 miles south of Kete Krachi.
The aircraft then began another climb 51 miles north of El Abiodh Sidi Cheikh Airport in Algeria, where it climbed from 40,354 feet to 42,433 feet in 3 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles. A short level cruise followed, lasting 7 minutes and covering 58 nautical miles, starting 36 miles south of Brezina. The aircraft then began its descent 12 miles south of El Bayadh, where it descended from 42,361 feet to 41,746 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south of El Bayadh Airport, lasting 129 minutes and covering 1,013 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Rumegies in France, where it descended from 40,426 feet to 1,255 feet in 22 minutes, covering 116 nautical miles. The final approach was made to runway 36R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the south, with a heading of 3.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 36R, which was 2,822 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 269 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were 8 and 9 knots, respectively. The total landing distance was 1,951 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,832 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 390 minutes. The aircraft used 37,200 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving an overall score of 86.8%. The final approach to runway 36R was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 59 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 269 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -349 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The runway length at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is 2,822 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,951 meters, which corresponds to 69% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centerline, suggesting a minor deviation from the intended path.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. While there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
