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 1,923 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,923 m of the 3,346 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 843 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 34R, with a takeoff distance of 956 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and no wind.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of the airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,071 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,702 feet, an increase of 35,630 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient process, allowing the aircraft to reach its cruising altitude quickly.
After completing the climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Sufaynah, in the Medina Region of Saudi Arabia. This phase lasted for 53 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 479 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a stable and efficient period of flight, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain its altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles south of Hanidh, in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The descent was from an altitude of 37,142 feet to a final altitude of 1,310 feet, a decrease of 35,831 feet in just 21 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The descent was a smooth and controlled process, allowing the aircraft to reach its final altitude safely.
The final approach to runway 30R at OBBI Bahrain International Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 303.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth and controlled, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the touchdown point was 428 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The total landing distance was 1,844 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were slightly cooler, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 290 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 719 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,895 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OBBI Bahrain International Airport, achieving a high score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 30R was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 303.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots. The touchdown point was located 428 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,844 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
