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 2,260 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,260 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 869 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 1,032 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf in Hessen, Germany. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,320 feet above sea level to 35,282 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Kirchlauter in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 302 minutes and covered a distance of 2,423 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 37 miles south of Lavan Airport in Hormozgan Province, Iran. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,143 feet to 1,332 feet.
The final approach to runway 30L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) was made from the southeast, with a heading of 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown point located 458 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 2,185 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,645 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 360 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 40,941 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) on runway 30L, achieving a score of 86.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a threshold height that was significantly above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also satisfactory, reaching 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a smooth touchdown. The touchdown point was located 458 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent and a smooth touchdown. The touchdown rate of -141 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's engines were well-managed during the landing process. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing process.
The total landing distance of 2,185 meters was 61% 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 properly applied and the aircraft was brought to a stop in a controlled manner.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a satisfactory score of 86.9%. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the landing process, and the weather conditions were favorable.
