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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 148 m touchdown sits inside 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 25L at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) with a takeoff distance of 2,917 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 206 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 35°C and winds of 7 knots at 309°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from Hong Kong, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and climbing from 1,026 feet above sea level to 27,239 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,213 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 10 miles east of Qingyuan, China, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 5 miles north of Qingyuan, and climbing from 27,405 feet to 31,200 feet, an increase of 3,795 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its level cruise phase, starting 27 miles north of Qingyuan, and lasting 44 minutes, covering a distance of 341 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 21 miles east of Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport, and climbing from 31,210 feet to 33,352 feet, an increase of 2,142 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 28 miles north of Guiyang, and lasting 173 minutes, covering a distance of 1,271 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, and climbing from 32,916 feet to 34,875 feet, an increase of 1,959 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, and lasting 175 minutes, covering a distance of 1,277 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 98 miles southwest of Akdepe, Turkmenistan, and climbing from 35,453 feet to 37,642 feet, an increase of 2,189 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, and lasting 219 minutes, covering a distance of 1,584 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 1 mile south of Csorvas, Hungary, and climbing from 36,826 feet to 38,770 feet, an increase of 1,944 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Szeleveny, Hungary, and lasting 72 minutes, covering a distance of 547 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting overhead Ruescheid, Germany, and descending from 38,026 feet to 1,365 feet, a decrease of 36,661 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, starting from the north-east and heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,207 feet
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,207 feet above ground level. The landing was scored at 76.4%, indicating a decent performance but with room for improvement.
One of the notable issues during the landing was the excessively high threshold speed of 195 kt, which is higher than the recommended speed. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's engines and landing gear. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 194 kt was also excessively fast, which can lead to a heavier touchdown rate and increased wear on the landing gear.
The touchdown rate was indeed very heavy at -957 fpm, which is higher than the recommended rate. This could have resulted in a bumpy ride for the passengers and increased the risk of damage to the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline, which could have affected the aircraft's stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 14 kt at 210°. The crosswind was 8 kt, while the headwind was 12 kt, which could have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance was 1,280 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a good performance in terms of touchdown distance.
However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.9 meters from the centreline, which could have affected the aircraft's stability during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several issues that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
