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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,787 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,787 m of the 3,346 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 680 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200LR aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 32 at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas, with a takeoff distance of 1,652 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 189 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level to 32,376 feet, an increase of 31,366 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 50 miles northeast of Governor's Harbour Airport in the Bahamas and lasted for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 901 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 33,631 feet to 35,000 feet, an increase of 1,369 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The level cruise continued from this point, lasting for 530 minutes and covering a distance of 4,642 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 34,996 feet to 39,000 feet, an increase of 4,004 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The level cruise continued from this point, lasting for 89 minutes and covering a distance of 785 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 14 miles southwest of Jubail Airport in Saudi Arabia and descending from an altitude of 39,003 feet to 1,262 feet, a decrease of 37,741 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30R at Bahrain International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 303.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,346 meters long, with a threshold speed of 140 knots. The touchdown point was 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,709 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,613 nautical miles, taking a total of 767 minutes and using 87,428 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question is a Boeing 777-200LR, which successfully landed at Bahrain International Airport (OBBI) on runway 30R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 303.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, adhering to the standard threshold height and speed requirements.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed smoothly at a speed of 132 knots, with a descent rate of -136 feet per minute. Although the touchdown point was 267 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, the landing was still considered successful. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The total landing distance was 1,709 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also noteworthy, as it was very good. This suggests that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision during the landing, ensuring a safe and efficient rollout. Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200LR at OBBI was a success, with a high score of 96.4% indicating a well-executed approach and touchdown.
