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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,331 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,331 m of the 3,393 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,599 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 05 at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,846 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 184 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,014 feet above sea level to 30,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,708 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 67 miles east of Asahi, Japan, and lasted for 261 minutes, covering a distance of 2,338 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 30,995 feet above sea level to 32,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,997 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time at a new location, and lasted for 181 minutes, covering a distance of 1,589 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,000 feet above sea level to 34,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,395 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time at a new location, and lasted for 206 minutes, covering a distance of 1,798 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Highland, Arkansas, and descended from 34,992 feet above sea level to 1,418 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,573 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36C at KMEM Memphis International Airport was made from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,130 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36C, which had a length of 3,393 meters. The threshold height at 64 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 1,185 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 138 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -301 feet per minute, which was firm.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,252 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,995 nautical miles, taking a total of 712 minutes, and the aircraft used 101,796 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Memphis International Airport (KMEM) on runway 36C, achieving an overall score of 87.6%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,130 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 64 feet agl, which was above the target height. However, the threshold speed was good at 147 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 1,185 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 138 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -301 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 179°. The crosswind component was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slight over-shooting of the touchdown zone.
The total landing distance of 2,252 meters was 66% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. However, the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory in the given weather conditions.
