Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 8.3 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.3 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start 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 1,766 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,766 m of the 3,192 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 503 m touchdown sits inside 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. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France.
As the aircraft lifted off, it reached a liftoff speed of 174 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The takeoff distance covered 34% of the runway, which was 1,213 meters long.
The enroute climb started as the aircraft flew overhead Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Paris. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,359 feet above sea level to 33,239 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,880 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile north of Rumillies, Belgium, and lasted for 274 minutes, covering a distance of 2,276 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 32,065 feet above sea level to 33,757 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,692 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 38 miles south of UPAN Pangody Airport in Russia, and lasted for 235 minutes, covering a distance of 1,916 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Taikang, China, and descending from 34,698 feet above sea level to 26,855 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,843 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more, this time 4 miles southwest of Longfeng, China, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 6 miles south of Anda, China, and descending from 26,803 feet above sea level to 1,904 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,899 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started for the final time, this time 7 miles northwest of ZHAA Wang Kang Airfield in Harbin, China, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Harbin Taiping International Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 219.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point being 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 250 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,687 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then began its taxiing process, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the parking area.
The total flight distance was 4,423 nautical miles, taking a total of 568 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 71,648 kilograms of fuel
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and altitude were well-managed, allowing for a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing parameters. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The touchdown point was located 88 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 250°, were relatively calm, with a slight headwind component of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,687 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
