Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,598 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,598 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 899 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 34R at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,688 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 310°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tokyo Haneda International Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 16,982 feet above sea level in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile north of the airport and ended 3 miles north of Ishige, Japan. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 32,996 feet above sea level in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. This climb started 4 miles northwest of Ishioka, Japan. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 116 minutes and covered a distance of 1,035 nautical miles. This cruise phase started at a latitude of 35.4321908 and a longitude of 142.7616347.
The aircraft continued its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,626 feet above sea level in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This climb started at a latitude of 46.8095571 and a longitude of 159.8425876. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 207 minutes and covered a distance of 1,695 nautical miles. This cruise phase started at a latitude of 46.9697197 and a longitude of 160.1577803.
The aircraft continued its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,941 feet above sea level in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This climb started 9 miles north of Red Devil Airport in Alaska, United States. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 166 minutes and covered a distance of 1,450 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 20 miles north of Stony River 2 Airport in Alaska, United States.
The aircraft continued its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 38,852 feet above sea level in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. This climb started 26 miles southeast of Fond-du-Lac Airport in Saskatchewan, Canada. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 168 minutes and covered a distance of 1,513 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 30 miles south of Black Lake Seaplane Base in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 2 miles north of Deposit in New York, United States. The descent from 38,644 feet above sea level to 1,259 feet above sea level took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 26.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04R was successful, with a touchdown point 480 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly mis
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport on runway 04R. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good speed of 134 knots during the approach, meeting the target threshold speed.
However, the threshold height at 63 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown point was 480 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 219°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,514 meters was 71% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown parameters.
