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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 564 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC), with a takeoff distance of 989 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 118 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Manchester Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,306 feet above sea level to 34,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,670 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 116 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 4 miles northeast of Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, England, and lasted for 76 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 597 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,386 feet above sea level to 37,265 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,879 feet, which was achieved in just 5 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed overhead Komprachcice in the Opole Voivodeship, Poland, and lasted for 205 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,532 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 37,698 feet above sea level to 39,827 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,130 feet, which was achieved in just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once again, this time 33 miles northwest of Turkmenbasy in Turkmenistan, and lasted for 98 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 815 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 24 miles northeast of Bamyan in Afghanistan. The descent took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,485 feet above sea level to 7,155 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,330 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Kabul International Airport (OAKB) was made from the east, with a heading of 287.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 29, which had a length of 3,502 meters. The threshold height at 64 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots.
The touchdown point was 153 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 350 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,199 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,200 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 440 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 42,862 kilograms
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at OAKB Kabul International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on runway 29, which has a length of 3,502 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 153 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 118 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 350°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,199 meters was 34% 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 pilot maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control over the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there are some minor deviations that may require attention during future landings.
