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 1,783 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,783 m of the 3,491 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 721 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28 at HLLM Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli, Libya. The takeoff distance was 842 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 350°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead HLLM Mitiga International Airport and climbing from 1,057 feet above sea level to 29,129 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,072 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 58 miles south west of AG09 Amphibious Ready Group - South Mediterranean in Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 3 miles south west of Munxar in Il-Munxar, Malta, and climbing from 29,026 feet above sea level to 40,980 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,954 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 47 miles south east of Siracusa in Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 68 minutes, covering a distance of 574 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles south east of Gulyantsi in Oblast Pleven, Bulgaria, and descending from 40,958 feet above sea level to 1,486 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,472 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport was made from the east, heading 264.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,170 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26L, which has a length of 3,491 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 320 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -229 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 14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,716 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 963 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 143 minutes. The aircraft used 13,210 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport on runway 26L. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,170 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit more force during the landing. The touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The touchdown point was located 320 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 250°.
The total landing distance of 1,716 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 92.3%.
