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.

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 2,560 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,560 m of the 3,807 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 717 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,665 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 204 knots, with a local temperature of 20°C and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Schiller Park, Illinois, and began its ascent from 1,691 feet above sea level to 30,902 feet. This climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 747 minutes and covered a distance of 6,262 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft passing over various locations, including the Gulf of Oman and the state of Rajasthan in India. The climbs and descents were relatively short, with the longest climb taking 5 minutes to ascend 6,360 feet. The level cruises were also relatively short, with the longest lasting 115 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 40,719 feet above sea level to 19,617 feet. This descent took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruises, with the final cruise lasting 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at VIDP Indira Gandhi International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 105.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a touchdown point 304 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 149 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -66 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 2,483 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was taxied to the parking area, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 7,599 nautical miles, and the flight took 956 minutes, using 132,359 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport, with a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, heading 105.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, registering at 149 kt. However, the touchdown point was 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 142 kt was also a bit faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the aircraft's stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 2,483 meters was 65% 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's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may be addressed in future training exercises to improve the pilot's performance.
