Flight Score
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 1,589 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,589 m of the 3,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 614 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 21R at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 194 meters, which is 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and 8 knots of wind at 300°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,082 feet above sea level to 31,514 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,432 feet in 19 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 33 miles east of Sangkhla Buri in Thailand and lasted 92 minutes, covering 750 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started overhead Madhyamgram in India and climbed from 31,802 feet to 33,535 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Singur in India and lasted 187 minutes, covering 1,365 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 27 miles southeast of Chiras in Afghanistan and climbed from 34,297 feet to 35,974 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 16 miles south of Chiras in Afghanistan and lasted 185 minutes, covering 1,330 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 6 miles northwest of Tirebolu in Turkey and climbed from 35,923 feet to 37,721 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles north of Giresun in Turkey and lasted 123 minutes, covering 897 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles north of Mende in Hungary, where the aircraft descended from 37,889 feet to 1,898 feet in 21 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 296.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,305 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown point 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -167 feet per minute, which was also good.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and 8 knots of wind at 300°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,520 meters, which is 44% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,620 nautical miles, which was covered in 641 minutes, and the aircraft used 82,060 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) with a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 29 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 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 145 knots. The touchdown point was located 210 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a significant headwind component of 8 knots. The runway length of 3,494 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,520 meters, or 44% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with only minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point.
