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.

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 1,646 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,646 m of the 3,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 719 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 06 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL) in the Philippines. The takeoff distance was 2,261 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 186 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 35°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Makati City, where the aircraft ascended from 1,095 feet above sea level to 29,330 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,235 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 51 minutes and covered 440 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, where the aircraft ascended from 29,361 feet to 31,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,646 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 278 minutes and covered 2,313 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple climb and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. The aircraft climbed from 31,113 feet to 35,323 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,209 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. It then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 237 minutes and covered 1,765 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it entered a final climb phase, where it ascended from 34,610 feet to 36,208 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,598 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 194 minutes and covered 1,403 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Giebelstadt in Germany, where the aircraft descended from 34,317 feet to 6,038 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,279 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Rodenbach in Germany, where the aircraft descended from 5,785 feet to 1,732 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,053 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), where it landed with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute.
The landing distance was 1,562 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 310 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,182 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 821 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 119,275 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25C, achieving a score of 90.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,384 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, considering the challenging conditions.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,990 meters, which provided ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely. However, the threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 129 knots, which could have been a concern if not properly managed by the pilots.
The touchdown point was 300 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been a concern for the aircraft's stability during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 310°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions required the pilots to make adjustments to the approach and landing to ensure a safe and stable touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,562 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated their expertise in handling the Boeing 777F aircraft in challenging conditions.
