Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,018 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 713 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 25R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 1,687 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 190 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C, no wind, and a calm atmosphere. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KLAX Los Angeles International Airport. The climb was steep, with an increase of 29,900 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
After reaching a cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another climb phase 3 miles west of Barstow Daggett Airport (KDAG). This climb was less steep, with an increase of 1,559 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 202 minutes and covered an impressive 1,589 nautical miles. This phase was followed by another climb phase, which started 59 miles southeast of Tadoule Lake Airport (CYBQ) in Manitoba, Canada. The climb was moderate, with an increase of 2,008 feet in 3 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 220 minutes and covered 1,861 nautical miles. This phase was followed by another climb phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude. The climb was moderate, with an increase of 1,996 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 142 minutes and covered 1,177 nautical miles. However, this phase was followed by a descent phase, which started 69 miles northwest of Oost-Vlieland in the Netherlands. The descent was steep, with a decrease of 36,031 feet in 30 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was from the northeast, with a heading of 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 292 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,268 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 4,896 nautical miles, taking 627 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total of 82,684 kilograms consumed during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 143 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute was deemed good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 292 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation during the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 80°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, indicating a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 1,268 meters was 63% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure precise alignment during future landings.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score and minimal deviations from the ideal landing parameters. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
