Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 1,163 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,479 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,479 m of the 3,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,163 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 27L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 188 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,347 m, which represented 37 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 34 °C, wind 6 kt from 260 °, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began overhead Roissy-en-France, rising from 1,276 ft asl to 31,259 ft asl - a gain of 29,984 ft - in 16 minutes while traversing 102 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 1 nm north-east of Magny-la-Campagne and continued for 98 minutes, during which 741 nm were covered.
A subsequent climb started at latitude 53.3589266, longitude -18.3455095, climbing from 31,999 ft asl to 33,990 ft asl, an increase of 1,990 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 27 nm.
The next cruise leg originated at latitude 53.4274267, longitude -19.1143871 and lasted 263 minutes, covering 2,055 nm.
A further climb began 45 mi south of Southport, Maine, United States, raising the aircraft from 34,137 ft asl to 35,963 ft asl - a rise of 1,826 ft - in 2 minutes while moving 12 nm.
The following cruise segment started 44 mi south-east of ME45 Goosefair Airport, Kennebunkport, Maine, and persisted for 185 minutes, during which 1,487 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 43 mi north-west of MUCV Las Clavellinas Airport, Las Clavellinas, Cuba, with the aircraft descending from 35,999 ft asl to 3,012 ft asl, a loss of 32,987 ft in 27 minutes across 155 nm.
A brief cruise followed 11 mi west of Cancún, Mexico, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The next descent began 16 mi west of Cancún, descending from 2,847 ft asl to 2,001 ft asl - a decrease of 846 ft - in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
A short cruise segment then started 13 mi north of Leona Vicario, Mexico, lasting 6 minutes and spanning 14 nm.
For the final approach to runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, the aircraft approached from the north-west on a heading of 123.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl.
Landing on runway 12R, which is 3,498 m long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 146 kt. Touchdown occurred 755 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 108 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 29 °C, wind 2 kt from 110 °, with a 0 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance was 2,406 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 4,614 nm, took 617 minutes, and consumed 83,630 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 established the final approach to runway 12R at MMUN from the north-west, intercepting a heading of 123.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft AGL. Local weather was 29 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 110°, providing a 2 kt headwind and zero crosswind.
The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at the target speed of 146 kt, which was rated good.
Touchdown occurred 755 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 132 kt rated good, a smooth vertical rate of minus 108 fpm, and perfect runway alignment.
The rollout covered 2,406 m, representing 69 % of the 3,498 m runway, and runway alignment during rollout was very good.
Future landings should aim to touch down within the designated touchdown zone, targeting the aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) from the threshold to reduce the rollout distance. The smooth flare and speed control already demonstrated should be maintained.
