Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,975 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,766 ft 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 777-300, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,909 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 69°F and winds of 4 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 993 feet above sea level to 34,964 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of Zavalla, Texas. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 620 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,995 feet to 36,007 feet, an increase of 1,012 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and locations, including a level cruise phase that started 5 miles northwest of Paintsville, Kentucky, and lasted for 62 minutes, covering a distance of 2,275 nautical miles. Another climb phase started at a specific latitude and longitude, and the aircraft climbed from 36,946 feet to 38,274 feet, an increase of 1,328 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 3 miles west of Rhossili, Wales. The descent from 38,998 feet to 7,385 feet took 23 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Ripley, Surrey, England, for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final descent phase started overhead Epsom, Surrey, England, and the aircraft descended from 7,001 feet to 1,304 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 270.0° and at an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27L was successful, with a touchdown point 418 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 52°F and winds of 5 knots at 210°.
The total landing distance was 3,213 feet, which was 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,261 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 181 minutes. The aircraft used 122,168 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots. The touchdown point was 418 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 3,213 feet was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and stability throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 aircraft on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was excellent, with a high score of 99.0%. The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, and the local weather conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
