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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,874 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,874 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 601 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 36L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD). The takeoff distance was 1,394 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 180 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 350°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Paracuellos de Jarama, Spain. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,025 feet above sea level to 36,391 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,365 feet. The distance covered during this period was 103 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles northwest of Jarque, Aragon, Spain, and lasted for 85 minutes, covering a distance of 602 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Messstetten, Germany, and took 32 minutes to descend from 36,598 feet above sea level to 1,611 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,987 feet. The distance covered during this period was 111 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07R at EDDF was successful, with a touchdown point 186 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -288 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 70°.
The total landing distance was 1,793 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 825 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 145 minutes. The aircraft used 18,664 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 07R, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 186 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing roll.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C, a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 70°, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The headwind component of 2 knots was minimal and did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,793 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and landing phases.
