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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,047 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,047 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 780 m past the threshold — beyond 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 21R at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa. The takeoff distance was 2,072 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 190°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Johannesburg, it began its enroute climb from 6,538 feet above sea level to 30,264 feet, an increase of 23,726 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile south of the airport. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 143 minutes and covered 1,153 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 7 miles south of Mogwase Airport in South Africa.
The flight then continued with a series of enroute climbs and level cruises. The first of these climbs started 52 miles east of Kahemba Airport in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the aircraft climbed from 30,136 feet to 31,461 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise phase that lasted 193 minutes and covered 1,613 nautical miles. Another climb started 3 miles south-east of Dirkou Airport in Niger, where the aircraft climbed from 32,045 feet to 33,550 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise phase that lasted 205 minutes and covered 1,640 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its descent from 34,100 feet above sea level to 2,787 feet, a decrease of 31,312 feet in 23 minutes, covering 113 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile south-east of Bolzano in Italy. The final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 1,068 feet above ground level due to an unknown reason. The aircraft then landed on runway 08R at Munich Airport, which had a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 362 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 knots and a touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,964 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,629 nautical miles, which was covered in 607 minutes, and the aircraft used 86,277 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport on runway 08R, achieving a score of 91.7%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was located 362 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both good, with a rate of -150 feet per minute, which is a desirable outcome. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 54°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,964 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the landing process.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision during the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
