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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,872 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,872 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 640 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft took off from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on a beautiful day with perfect weather conditions. The takeoff distance of 871 meters was 27% of the total runway length, and the liftoff speed was an impressive 156 knots. The temperature was a comfortable 15 degrees Celsius, with zero wind speed and direction, making it an ideal takeoff conditions.
As the aircraft climbed out of Schiphol, it began its ascent from 1,069 feet above sea level to 36,874 feet, an increase of 35,805 feet in just 15 minutes. This steep climb was achieved while covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered into a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of EDLE Essen Mülheim Airport Essen-Mulheim, Germany, and flying at a steady altitude for 35 minutes while covering an additional 271 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the European continent, it began its descent from 37,320 feet above sea level to 6,213 feet, a decrease of 31,107 feet in just 17 minutes. This significant descent covered a distance of 104 nautical miles. After briefly leveling out 2 miles northwest of Zerbolo, Italy, the aircraft began its next descent from 6,204 feet above sea level to 4,753 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a short distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered into another level cruise, this time starting 1 mile north of Ferrera Erbognone, Italy, for 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. However, the final descent of the day began over Cassolnovo, Italy, where the aircraft descended from 4,033 feet above sea level to 1,995 feet, a decrease of 2,038 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
With its final approach path set for runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport from the south, heading 349.0 degrees, the aircraft flew for 4 nautical miles at 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35R, which was 2,977 meters long, was good, with a threshold height and speed within acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -239 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,791 meters, covering 60% of the runway. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 3 minutes, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile traveled.
The total flight distance was 519 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 1 hour and 31 minutes. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with 8,601 kilograms being consumed during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER has successfully landed at Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC), marking an impressive feat in aviation. The aircraft was on final approach to runway 35R, coming from the south and navigating a heading of 349.0 degrees. The pilot's control and precision were evident as the aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl), which is approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The assessment of the landing reveals a commendable 94.5% achievement. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold height was deemed adequate, while the threshold speed of 136 knots was also in line with the expected standard. However, a slight deviation from the norm occurred when the aircraft landed at a speed of 129 knots, which is considered a little fast for an ideal touchdown speed.
In terms of descent rate, the pilot managed to achieve a fair touchdown rate of -239 feet per minute, which is within the acceptable range. The most striking aspect of this landing was the exceptional runway alignment during the touch down and subsequent rollout. The aircraft was perfectly aligned with the runway, demonstrating outstanding control and finesse.
Weather conditions were relatively benign for the landing, with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and light winds blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 20. The crosswind and headwind were also minimal, standing at 1 kt each. Despite the favorable weather, the total landing distance of 1,791 meters exceeded the runway length by 60%. This is considered an acceptable overrun, indicating that the pilot exercised caution and made adjustments to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
In conclusion, this landing showcases the impressive capabilities of the Boeing 777-200ER and highlights the proficiency of the pilot in handling the aircraft under varying conditions. The precision and control demonstrated throughout the landing are a testament to the exceptional training and experience of commercial pilots in modern aviation.
