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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 693 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 195 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 29 knots at a direction of 309 degrees.
The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 24 knots during takeoff. Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north-west of the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 907 feet above sea level to 33,479 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,573 feet in just 20 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south-east of Goycay, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 49 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,141 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with subsequent climb phases taking place over Sangeorgiu de Mures, Romania, and Latitude: 57.1062532, Longitude: -49.2401698. The aircraft also entered level cruise phases over Bobalna, Romania, and Latitude: 56.774256, Longitude: -50.9220896.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 7 miles north of MYAX Spanish Cay Airport, Spanish Cay, Bahamas. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 42,009 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 40,706 feet in just 21 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at MYNN Lynden Pindling International Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 135.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 14, which had a length of 3,329 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 275 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 160 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,205 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,295 nautical miles, with the flight taking 383 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 78,212 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft successfully landed at Lynden Pindling International Airport, with a final approach score of 90.7%. The aircraft was approaching runway 14 from the north-west, heading 135.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 275 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good, with a touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing and rollout phases.
In terms of the landing distance, the aircraft covered a total distance of 1,205 meters, which was 36% of the available runway length. This was a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out in a controlled manner.
