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 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,942 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,942 m of the 3,589 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,105 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX). The Boeing 777F aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,315 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 191 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 16 knots and no crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south west of Castle Donington, Leicestershire. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,356 feet above sea level to 8,632 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,275 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute level cruise 1 mile south of Heather, Leicestershire, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb 1 mile south west of Sharnford, Leicestershire, climbing from 9,274 feet above sea level to 33,182 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,908 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute level cruise overhead Badwell Ash, Suffolk, lasting for 30 minutes and covering 261 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile north west of Sassenberg, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft descended from 32,722 feet above sea level to 1,738 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,984 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP) was made from the east, heading 266.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,589 meters long, with a threshold height of 60 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 685 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -275 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,858 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 534 nautical miles, taking 89 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,146 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.0%. The final approach to runway 26L was initiated from the east, with a heading of 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height at 60 feet agl being above the target. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 138 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 685 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but not excessively so.
The touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -275 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely and within the acceptable parameters.
The total landing distance of 1,858 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase and did not deviate significantly from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment with the runway centerline.
