Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 18 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 6.1°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Ease the pitch and add power to check the excessive sink rate, re-establishing a stable descent before the gate.
What happened: This flight carried a high sink rate on the approach, then crossed the threshold high and fast, with the height 10 ft agl above target. Crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long, and here it touched down 232 m past the target point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, stabilised descent rate on the glidepath.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,787 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,203 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,203 m of the 4,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 689 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 30R at OMDB Dubai International Airport in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,744 m, representing 43 % of the runway, and lifted off at 167 kt; ambient temperature was 41 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 350°, a 10 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced 2 mi north-west of OMDB, climbing from 1,004 ft asl to 36,991 ft asl-a gain of 35,988 ft-in 20 minutes while traversing 146 nm.
Level cruise began 9 mi north-west of FM04 in the Gulf of Oman, lasting 22 minutes and covering 180 nm.
A second climb segment started 68 mi south of Chabahar, raising altitude from 37,560 ft asl to 39,010 ft asl, an increase of 1,450 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 13 nm.
The subsequent cruise phase originated 64 mi south-west of Jiwani, persisting for 274 minutes and encompassing 2,193 nm.
Descent commenced 10 mi south of Sangkhla Buri, descending from 38,999 ft asl to 14,192 ft asl-a loss of 24,807 ft-in 17 minutes while covering 126 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 10 mi south-west of Suphan Buri, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 20 nm.
The next descent began 7 mi south of Phak Hai, dropping from 13,999 ft asl to 1,528 ft asl, a decrease of 12,470 ft in 16 minutes across 70 nm.
The final approach to runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 195.0°, at 4 nm and 1,513 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19L, which is 4,131 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 144 kt; the aircraft touched down 274 m beyond the touchdown zone at 138 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 183 fpm and a lateral deviation of 10.3 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 29 °C, wind 3 kt from 270°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 2,124 m, equivalent to 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be 12.9 m off the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, traveling 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,762 nm, required 371 minutes, and consumed 42,527 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 195.0° at 4 nm and 1,513 ft agl, with temperature 29 °C, wind 3 kt from 270°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was at 60 ft agl, a height that was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 kt.
Touchdown occurred 274 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 138 kt, described as a little fast, and the vertical rate was good at minus 183 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 2,124 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 m from the centreline.
To refine the performance, adjust flare timing to place the touchdown point nearer the aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) in, and maintain tighter centreline tracking on touchdown and rollout to keep lateral deviation within a few metres.
