Work on the flare
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.

Side view — the last 1,596 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,596 m of the 2,901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 214 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH), with a takeoff distance of 1,973 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 182 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 34°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 219°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles west of VHHH, where the aircraft ascended from 1,026 feet above sea level to 28,735 feet, an increase of 27,708 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 64 miles south of Jieshi, China, and lasted for 228 minutes, covering a distance of 1,900 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various altitudes and locations, including a climb from 28,641 feet to 30,647 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles, and a level cruise phase that started at a latitude of 31.2761716 and a longitude of 150.405467, lasting for 131 minutes and covering 1,107 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with a climb from 30,850 feet to 32,280 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles, and a level cruise phase that started at a latitude of 41.0696622 and a longitude of 170.2794247, lasting for 208 minutes and covering 1,764 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced a climb from 33,254 feet to 34,641 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, and a level cruise phase that started at a latitude of 41.9871308 and a longitude of -149.7755116, lasting for 177 minutes and covering 1,452 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 8 miles east of Lost Hills Airport, where it descended from 35,013 feet to 26,446 feet in 3 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of 7R Ranch Airport, lasting for 5 minutes and covering 42 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, starting 1 mile west of Moorpark, where it descended from 25,848 feet to 4,501 feet in 11 minutes, covering 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Hacienda Heights, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, starting overhead Pico Rivera, where it descended from 4,166 feet to 1,388 feet in 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) took place from the east, with a heading of 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,901 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 146 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 213 meters. The touchdown speed was 145 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -433 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24L, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 213 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed was also good at 145 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -433 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight over-rotation of the aircraft during the landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,513 meters, which is 52% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway centerline, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. However, the slightly hard touchdown rate may indicate a need for further refinement in the landing technique.
