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 2,285 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,285 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 952 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Cairo International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 10 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then rolled down runway 23C, utilizing 63% of the 2,524-meter runway, and lifted off at a speed of 192 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 200°, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 67 nautical miles in 12 minutes, reaching an altitude of 18,816 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the longest lasting 256 minutes and covering 2,310 nautical miles. The aircraft also underwent several altitude increases, with the most significant being a 2,077-foot ascent in just 3 minutes. The flight plan took the aircraft across various geographical locations, including Egypt, the Red Sea, and eventually, the Australian continent. The final descent phase began 6 miles north-east of Penshurst, with the aircraft descending from 37,486 feet to 1,725 feet above sea level in 26 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 landed on runway 16 at Melbourne International Airport, utilizing 60% of the 3,662-meter runway. The touchdown point was 535 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a rate of -238 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.3 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7,709 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 904 minutes and a fuel consumption of 129,210 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the north. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 60 ft agl, which was a minor deviation from the ideal approach quality. The threshold speed of 147 kt was also marginally above the target, but still within acceptable limits.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was recorded as good, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown rate of -238 fpm was deemed fair, suggesting a slight loss of control during the final stages of the descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind conditions. The local weather, with a temperature of 18 °C and a 5 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively stable approach environment.
The total landing distance of 2,203 m, accounting for 60% of the runway length, was a reasonable outcome. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stabilize the aircraft during the critical post-landing phase. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 87.6%, reflecting a satisfactory but not outstanding execution of the approach and landing.
