Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 143 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 176 kt, 33 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 271 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 512 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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 1,962 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,962 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 22R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The takeoff distance was 2,169 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Edgemere, New York. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,048 feet above sea level to 37,499 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of North Adams, Massachusetts. This phase lasted for 109 minutes and covered a distance of 907 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 29 miles northwest of Charlottetown Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 37,436 feet to 39,038 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 19 miles southwest of Black Tickle Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This phase lasted for 179 minutes and covered a distance of 1,452 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting at a specific latitude and longitude. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 39,720 feet to 41,659 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude. This phase lasted for 66 minutes and covered a distance of 530 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles north of Sheringham in Norfolk, England. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 41,864 feet to 1,264 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,191 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots.
However, the touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -494 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 315 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,879 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 27.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,202 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 428 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 41,793 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the south west, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots.
However, the touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -494 feet per minute, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 315°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing distance was 1,879 meters, which is 59% of the available runway length of 3,191 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 27.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position and the subsequent rollout.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
