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.
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 5,597 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,597 ft of the 12,289 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,447 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 04R, taking off with a takeoff distance of 3,927 feet, which was 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 90°F temperature and a wind of 8 knots at 140°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 923 feet above sea level to 34,612 feet, an increase of 33,690 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 31 miles northeast of Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii, and lasted for 90 minutes, covering a distance of 800 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, this time from 35,158 feet to 36,968 feet, an increase of 1,810 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The level cruise then resumed, starting at a new location and lasting for 169 minutes, covering a distance of 1,483 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb again, this time from 36,708 feet to 38,155 feet, an increase of 1,447 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The level cruise then resumed once more, starting 4 miles southeast of Ehrenberg, Arizona, and lasting for 89 minutes, covering a distance of 735 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 4 miles north of the Rocking R Ranch Airport in Eldorado, Texas. The descent from 38,976 feet to 5,028 feet, a decrease of 33,948 feet in 25 minutes, covered a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise, lasting only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final descent started 1 mile southeast of Jollyville, Texas, where the aircraft descended from 4,981 feet to 1,782 feet, a decrease of 3,198 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18R at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, flying from the north at a heading of 179.0° and at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18R was successful, with a touchdown point 969 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 73°F temperature and a wind of 3 knots at 170°.
The total landing distance was 5,219 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,303 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 417 minutes. The aircraft used 101,934 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.0%. The final approach to runway 18R was conducted from the north, with a heading of 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a threshold height significantly above the target. However, the threshold speed was good, reaching 142 knots. The touchdown point was located 969 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The landing rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft's engines were properly managed, and the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which is relatively minor. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 5,219 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance, without requiring an extended rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the Boeing 777F aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, achieving a score of 88.0%. The pilots' skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
