Slow the descent speed
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,540 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,540 m of the 2,500 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 146 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 07C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07C, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 181 kt and departed after using 1,476 m of runway, which represented 37 % of the available length; local weather was 26 °C with a 2 kt wind from 060°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began overhead the airport, climbing from 913 ft asl to 15,999 ft asl, an increase of 15,086 ft achieved in 6 minutes while covering 32 nm.
Level cruise commenced 1 mile north-west of Gernsheim and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 11 nm.
A second climb segment started over Biebelnheim, raising the altitude from 16,185 ft asl to 21,989 ft asl, an increase of 5,803 ft in 3 minutes and covering 25 nm.
The next cruise phase began over Mengerschied, extending for 10 minutes and encompassing 54 nm of flight.
Descent began 1 mile north-east of Hoscheid, descending from 21,586 ft asl to 1,688 ft asl, a decrease of 19,898 ft over 15 minutes while traversing 77 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at EHBK Maastricht Aachen Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,310 ft agl; local conditions were 18 °C with a 4 kt wind from 210°, no cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
Landing on runway 21 was executed with a threshold speed of 147 kt; touchdown occurred at 147 m down the runway at 146 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 217 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.9 m from the centreline; the total landing distance measured 1,466 m, representing 59 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 118 nm.
In total, the flight covered 327 nm, took 48 minutes, and used -3 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F approached runway 21 at EHBK Maastricht Aachen Airport from the north-east on a heading of 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,310 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 147 kt. The flare was executed in accordance with the aircraft’s performance parameters.
Touchdown occurred 147 m down the runway at a speed of 146 kt, which was judged good. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 217 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.9 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,466 m, representing 59 % of the 2,500 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 98.0 % the landing was excellent; focus on tightening centreline alignment and refining the touchdown vertical rate to move the fair rating toward excellent.
