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 2,206 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,206 m of the 4,023 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 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 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport, with the aircraft taking off after covering 69% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 2,311 meters, and the liftoff speed was 215 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Colnbrook, and climbed from 1,097 feet above sea level to 5,556 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, with enroute level cruise segments starting 1 mile south east of Weybridge and lasting 9 minutes, covering 42 nautical miles. Another enroute climb segment began 1 mile south of Bredgar, where the aircraft climbed from 6,021 feet to 29,009 feet in 14 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a long enroute level cruise segment, lasting 82 minutes and covering 726 nautical miles, starting overhead Dentergem in Flanders, Belgium.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with enroute climb segments starting 1 mile south of Szekkutas in Hungary and 14 miles south of Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran, Iran. The aircraft also entered several enroute level cruise segments, lasting between 173 and 177 minutes and covering distances of up to 1,517 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 33 miles north west of Bo Phloi in Thailand. The descent from 36,402 feet to 6,683 feet took 21 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short enroute level cruise segment, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent.
The final approach to runway 20R at Suvarnabhumi Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 194.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the touchdown point being 295 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 145 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,149 meters, which was 53% of the runway's length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 13 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 5,427 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 692 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 101,222 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach to runway 20R was initiated from the north, with a heading of 194.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was conducted in a relatively calm environment, with a temperature of 32°C and winds of 8 knots at 240°.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target at 55 feet agl, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 155 knots. The touchdown point was located 295 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a little faster than the target, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The total landing distance of 2,149 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
