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 2,425 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,425 m of the 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 893 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 777-300 then departed from runway 17R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 877 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,577 feet above sea level to 36,480 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,903 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of XS57 Havelka Haven Airport Mc Gregor (Texas, United States). This phase lasted for 89 minutes and covered a distance of 665 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Huehuetla (Estado de Hidalgo, Mexico). The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,931 feet above sea level to 18,546 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,385 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Tepeji del Rio de Ocampo (Estado de Hidalgo, Mexico). This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Chapa de Mota (Estado de Mexico, Mexico). The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 18,332 feet above sea level to 8,587 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,745 feet.
The final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 59.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 488 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -328 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,356 meters, which accounted for 68% 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 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 880 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 138 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 15,502 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Benito Juárez International Airport, with a final approach score of 90.9%. The aircraft was approaching runway 05R from the southwest, heading 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 488 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the expected area. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute was firm, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance of 2,356 meters was 68% of the available runway length, which is a relatively safe margin.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the expected performance. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases was good, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the end of the runway.
