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 2,442 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,442 m of the 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 997 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,576 meters, which was 71% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 195 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 180 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Des Moines, Washington, and began its ascent from 1,290 feet above sea level to 29,480 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,190 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The enroute climb started at this point, and the aircraft continued to climb to its initial cruising altitude.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles south-east of Neah Bay, Washington, and lasted for 577 minutes, covering a distance of 4,500 nautical miles. This was the longest segment of the flight, and the aircraft maintained a steady altitude during this period.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began another enroute climb, this time from 31,099 feet above sea level to 37,383 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,284 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 53 miles north-east of Pagan Airstrip, and lasted for 179 minutes, covering a distance of 1,394 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 23 miles north of Jomalig Island Airport, and the aircraft descended from 37,472 feet above sea level to 1,318 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,154 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport was made from the south-west, with a heading of 60.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 584 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,364 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,145 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 815 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 120,753 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, with a score of 86.3%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, heading 60.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 148 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 584 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,364 meters was 69% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. These minor deviations from the centerline may require adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures to achieve a more precise touchdown and rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and alignment. The pilots' skills and experience were demonstrated through their ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, despite the minor deviations from the centerline.
