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 2,220 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,220 m of the 3,210 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 924 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 777-300 aircraft, departing from ZGGG Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in China. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 20L, covering a takeoff distance of 1,972 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 189 knots, and the aircraft climbed to a height of 1,063 feet above sea level before beginning its enroute climb.
The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from 1,063 feet to 28,078 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,015 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another climb phase 22 miles south of Taishan, China. This climb phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, during which the aircraft climbed from 28,140 feet to 30,537 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,397 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 637 nautical miles. This phase was followed by another climb phase, which started 1 mile south-west of Satuek, Thailand, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from 31,220 feet to 32,949 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,730 feet.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering a level cruise phase, which lasted for 179 minutes and covered a distance of 1,524 nautical miles. This phase was followed by another climb phase, which started at a latitude of -1.6552234 and a longitude of 84.6116126, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from 33,548 feet to 35,152 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,605 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 184 minutes and covered a distance of 1,562 nautical miles. This phase was followed by another climb phase, which started at a latitude of -13.2386507 and a longitude of 60.7942082, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from 35,278 feet to 37,442 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,164 feet.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering a level cruise phase, which lasted for 223 minutes and covered a distance of 1,817 nautical miles. This phase was followed by another climb phase, which started 1 mile south-west of FDMS Matsapha Airport, Manzini, Eswatini, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from 37,393 feet to 39,363 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,969 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 291 minutes and covered a distance of 677 nautical miles. This phase was followed by a descent phase, which started 15 miles south of FAOE Laingsburg Airport, Laingsburg, South Africa, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 38,121 feet to 1,451 feet above sea level, a
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 01, which has a length of 3,210 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 145 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 510 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal but still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 252°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 11 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 2,141 meters, which represents 67% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a satisfactory landing distance. However, the touchdown point was slightly misaligned from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure that the aircraft is properly aligned during future landings.
