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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,042 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,042 m of the 3,470 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 721 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 09 at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG). The takeoff distance was 2,109 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 185 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of KCVG. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,899 feet above sea level to 31,237 feet. The enroute level cruise then started overhead the Marion Municipal Airport (KMNN) in Ohio, lasting 223 minutes and covering 1,884 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a point with coordinates Latitude: 50.0632212 and Longitude: -39.7463947. The climb took only 3 minutes and covered 31 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 30,810 feet to 32,788 feet. The enroute level cruise then started from a point with coordinates Latitude: 50.2578655 and Longitude: -38.9560177, lasting 244 minutes and covering 2,170 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a point 1 mile northwest of Kony in Hungary. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 33,348 feet to 35,224 feet. The enroute level cruise then started from a point 4 miles southwest of Pannonhalma in Hungary, lasting 201 minutes and covering 1,708 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles north of the Basra International Airport (ORMM) in Iraq. The descent took 21 minutes and covered 92 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from 34,783 feet to 1,498 feet.
The final approach to runway 33R at the Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 335.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,966 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took only 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,029 nautical miles, taking 727 minutes, and the aircraft used 102,935 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) on runway 33R, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 335.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 145 knots. The touchdown point was located 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance. The runway length of 3,470 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,966 meters, which accounted for 57% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was 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 successful, and the aircraft was brought to a stop without incident.
