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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,204 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 453 m touchdown sits inside 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 28 at UHMM Sokol Airport. The takeoff distance was 797 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -13 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 330°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UHMM Sokol Airport in Magadan, Russia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,576 feet above sea level to 36,461 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,885 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 49 miles east of Atka, Magadan Oblast, Russia, and lasted for 229 minutes, covering a distance of 1,911 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 42 miles west of CEK2 Braeburn Airport in Braeburn, Yukon, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,180 feet above sea level to 3,671 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,509 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32L at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,368 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -452 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -26 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 340°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,098 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 273 minutes. The aircraft used 30,357 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 32L was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,368 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 456 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach.
The aircraft's descent rate was notable, with a hard touchdown rate of -452 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have been descending at a slightly steeper angle than intended, which could be attributed to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -26°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a headwind of 4 knots contributing to the aircraft's approach. The runway length of 2,204 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,364 meters, which accounted for approximately 62% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway.
