Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 173 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 194 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 173 kt at liftoff
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 1,801 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,801 m of the 3,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 732 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from San Francisco International Airport, where it began its journey on runway 28L. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lifted off, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 194 knots, utilizing 55% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 19°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed over San Bruno, California, and continued its ascent to 32,952 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was completed in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 149 minutes and covered a distance of 1,392 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise was repeated several times, with the aircraft passing over various points in California, Manitoba, and Iceland. The final climb phase took the aircraft to 36,998 feet above sea level, from where it began its descent into London Heathrow Airport.
The descent phase began overhead Audley, England, and the aircraft descended from 36,996 feet to 7,509 feet above sea level in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots and a distance of 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,721 meters, which was 51% of the available runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, where it was secured. The total flight distance was 4,774 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 568 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 74,247 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, showcasing a good threshold height and speed of 147 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 135 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was located 316 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly longer than ideal landing distance. However, the touchdown rate of -258 fpm was fair, considering the aircraft's weight and configuration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying on course throughout the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,721 m was 51% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a headwind of 3 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 94.1%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment.
