Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 150 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 168 kt against a rotation target of 150 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 150 kt.
See Departure Roll
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 93 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 93 ft, 48 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,629 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,629 m of the 4,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 528 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 29 at LCEN Nicosia (Lefkoşa) Ercan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 844 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LCEN Nicosia (Lefkoşa) Ercan International Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,360 feet above sea level to 40,511 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,151 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 345 nautical miles. This phase began 23 miles west of Batroun in Lebanon. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 34 miles southeast of Z16L H1 New Al Asad in Iraq. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 40,998 feet above sea level to 1,412 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,586 feet.
The final approach to runway 33R at ORBI Baghdad International Airport / New Al Muthana Air Base was made from the southeast, heading 330 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 115 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -176 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,552 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 597 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used 9,641 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at ORBI Baghdad International Airport / New Al Muthana Air Base, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 33R was conducted from the south east, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 138 knots being well within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly higher than desired, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 115 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The pilots were able to maintain a good runway touchdown alignment, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,552 meters was 39% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency.
