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.
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 1,910 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,910 m of the 3,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 742 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. The takeoff distance was 1,064 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 329 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead OTHH Hamad International Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,002 feet above sea level to 35,460 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,458 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles south of OM0A Ras Sumeira in Saudi Arabia. This phase lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 406 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 66 miles north of OESH Sharurah Domestic Airport in Saudi Arabia. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 36,866 feet above sea level to 38,136 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,270 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 53 miles north of OESH Sharurah Domestic Airport. This phase lasted for 175 minutes and covered a distance of 1,359 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles west of Kajiado in Kenya. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 95 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,204 feet above sea level to 4,221 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,982 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 88.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 330 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -180 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,833 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,955 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 282 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 33,105 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport, achieving a score of 91.3%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 330 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length of 3,587 meters. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,833 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, resulting in a safe and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 91.3%. The combination of favorable weather conditions, proper aircraft alignment, and controlled approach and landing procedures contributed to this successful outcome.
