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.
Side view — the last 1,663 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,663 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 606 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 777F aircraft. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,191 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 177 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Diegem in Flanders, Belgium, and climbing from an altitude of 1,139 feet above sea level to 31,320 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,181 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 21 miles northwest of Bray-Dunes in Hauts-de-France, France, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 198 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting overhead Llanellen in Monmouthshire, Wales, and climbing from 31,943 feet above sea level to 33,837 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,894 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 4 miles north of Merthyr Tydfil in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, Wales, and lasted for 203 minutes, covering a distance of 1,497 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting at a latitude of 54.5664344 and a longitude of -45.4222286, and climbing from 31,538 feet above sea level to 33,606 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,069 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started at a latitude of 54.5230256 and a longitude of -45.8350972, and lasted for 146 minutes, covering a distance of 1,105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles west of Matinicus Island Airport in Maine, United States, and descending from 35,485 feet above sea level to 10,661 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,824 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 24 miles east of Rockport in Massachusetts, United States, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 20 miles east of Rockport, and descending from 10,223 feet above sea level to 8,693 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,529 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 12 miles southeast of Rockport, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 1 mile southeast of Nahant, and descending from 8,594 feet above sea level to 5,797 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,797 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile east of Braintree, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent,
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 04R, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with a heading of 20.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a precise control of altitude during the approach phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 190 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.
The total landing distance of 1,582 meters was 68% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of pilot skill and control.
