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 1,764 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,764 m of the 2,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 19 meters, which is 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 51 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,261 feet above sea level to 38,404 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,142 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Enzan, Japan. This phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 177 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Sasayama, Japan. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,450 feet above sea level to 2,099 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,352 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at RJOA Hiroshima Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,003 feet above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,686 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 352 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used 9,277 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at RJOA Hiroshima Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,003 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a smooth touchdown, with a speed of 129 knots, which was within the target range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed and rate of descent were well within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 283 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within a safe margin. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,686 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot's approach and landing technique were effective in minimizing the landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. The score of 95.5% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in executing a safe and controlled landing.
