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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,569 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,569 m of the 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 939 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 26R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France. The takeoff distance was 2,070 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 192 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,384 feet above sea level to 28,953 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,569 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south-west of Gudmont-Villiers, France, and lasted for 110 minutes, covering a distance of 1,005 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 29,068 feet above sea level to 31,035 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,966 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 16 miles south of Balgarevo, Bulgaria, and lasted for 219 minutes, covering a distance of 1,900 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with enroute climbs starting 3 miles south of Kosonsoy, Uzbekistan, and 45 miles south-east of Dingxin/Shuangchengzi Air Base, China. The enroute level cruises that followed lasted for 146 minutes and 162 minutes, covering distances of 1,287 nautical miles and 1,286 nautical miles, respectively.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 34,991 feet above sea level to 1,351 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,640 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23L at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 229.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23L was successful, with the touchdown point being 528 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 330°.
The total landing distance was 1,494 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,740 nautical miles, taking 693 minutes and using 101,870 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (RCTP) on runway 23L. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a threshold speed of 146 knots, which is well within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots, which is slightly below the recommended speed but still within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. The touchdown point was 528 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but not excessively so.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,494 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft came to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 88.8%. While there were some minor areas for improvement, such as the touchdown rate, the aircraft's performance was generally satisfactory, and the landing was executed smoothly and safely.
