Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 103 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 74 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,703 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,703 m of the 3,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,269 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 05L, with a takeoff distance of 1,682 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,098 feet above sea level to 35,881 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,783 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 7 miles northwest of Wang'an Airport, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 249 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 33 miles south of Shanwei, China, with the aircraft descending from 35,456 feet above sea level to 2,135 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,321 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles east of Jida Airport, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport began from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 69.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,128 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07C was successful, with the touchdown point being 856 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -37 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,625 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 483 nautical miles, taking 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,182 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport on runway 07C, achieving an overall score of 85.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,128 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 144 knots. The touchdown point was located 856 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -37 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by a slight drift in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft demonstrated a good level of performance during the landing, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown. However, the pilot's skills and experience were able to mitigate these issues, resulting in a safe and successful landing. The total landing distance of 2,625 meters was 76% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
