Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,619 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,619 m of the 2,933 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 450 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 974 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 265°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,004 feet above sea level to 36,272 feet, an increase of 35,267 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Augustdorf in Germany. This phase lasted for 192 minutes, covering a distance of 1,579 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,835 feet to 39,200 feet, an increase of 1,365 feet, in just 2 minutes, while covering 16 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile north of Gyumri in Armenia.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Saramej in Armenia and lasted for 169 minutes, covering a distance of 1,553 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 38,761 feet to 40,760 feet, an increase of 1,999 feet, in just 3 minutes, while covering 29 nautical miles. The climb started 50 miles east of OPKP Khanpur Airport in Pakistan.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 30 miles west of VIBK Nal Airport in India and lasted for 70 minutes, covering a distance of 572 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Siddharthanagar in Nepal. The descent took 12 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,829 feet to 13,698 feet, a decrease of 27,131 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Hetauda in Nepal and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 8 miles southeast of Hetauda in Nepal. The descent took 10 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 13,691 feet to 4,702 feet, a decrease of 8,989 feet.
The final approach to runway 20 at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 202.0° at 1 nautical mile and 330 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 452 meters and a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -328 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,543 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,019 nautical miles, which was covered in 490 minutes. The aircraft used
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 20 was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 202.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 330 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely conducted under visual flight rules (VFR) given the good visibility conditions.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 135 knots. However, this minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 452 meters was well within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The landing rate of -328 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of safe landing operations, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,543 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's deceleration and rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities and performance.
