Work on the flare
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,503 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,503 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 621 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX). The Boeing 777F aircraft took off after covering 46% of the 1,180-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 187 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from East Midlands Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Kegworth in Leicestershire, England. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,297 feet above sea level to 28,542 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,245 feet, in just 6 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile southwest of West Wickham in Greater London, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 49 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, which started overhead the town of Sandwich in Kent, England. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,473 feet above sea level to 1,413 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,060 feet, in 7 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to Brussels Airport (EBBR) was made from the east, heading 257.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 25R, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The aircraft touched down 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 153 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,423 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 276 nautical miles and took 17 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7,243 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25R, achieving an overall score of 85.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 257.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,075 meters.
The threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 165 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a relatively high rate. This could be attributed to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's decision to descend more aggressively.
The touchdown point was 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 153 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was touching down with a relatively high rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,423 meters, which is 79% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilots executed the landing smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the target values, such as the threshold height and speed. Nevertheless, the pilots demonstrated good control and execution of the landing, resulting in a score of 85.3%.
