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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,724 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,724 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 758 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, a Mexican airport. The takeoff distance was 1,994 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún. The climb took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,026 feet above sea level to 37,812 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,785 feet. The distance covered during this period was 174 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 41 minutes and covered a distance of 1,249 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location, defined by latitude 23.9333713 and longitude -87.1089897. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began another climb, this time starting 2 miles south east of 32NE Mc Ginn Ranch Airport in Dunning, Nebraska. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 38,007 feet above sea level to 40,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,997 feet. The distance covered during this period was 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 664 nautical miles. This phase took place 20 miles west of 1NE0 Higgins Bros Airport in Brownlee, Nebraska. Following the second cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, starting 11 miles west of Vauxhall, Alberta, Canada. The descent took 12 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,415 feet above sea level to 4,823 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,592 feet. The distance covered during this period was 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 179.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 17L, which had a length of 4,265 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 155 knots.
The touchdown point was 348 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,242 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 29,120 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) on runway 17L. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 155 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown point was 348 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively acceptable margin. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the aircraft's touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots, which is beneficial for landing as it reduces the aircraft's ground speed and makes it easier to control. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,650 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short 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, allowing it to come to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and distance from the touchdown zone.
