Improve the landing
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,686 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,686 m of the 3,014 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 34 at FEFF Bangui M'Poko International Airport. The takeoff distance was 923 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bangui, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of the airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,252 feet above sea level to 37,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,745 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 33 miles east of FEFC Carnot Airport and lasted for 91 minutes, covering a distance of 787 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles northeast of Ikeja, Nigeria, and took 22 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,047 feet above sea level to 1,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,708 feet. The descent covered a distance of 128 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at DXXX Lomé–Tokoin International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 219.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown point located 181 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 200 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,604 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,048 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 140 minutes. The aircraft used 12,949 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at DXXX Lomé–Tokoin International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was 181 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute was fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,604 meters was 53% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient room to stop safely. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and landing phases.
