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 6,517 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,517 ft of the 7,028 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,994 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a lengthy taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, which took 257 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 9,581 feet, which was 82% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 192 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 76°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 170°.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 3,570 feet above sea level to 35,200 feet, an increase of 31,630 feet in just 12 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. This climb phase started approximately 1 mile northeast of Guarulhos, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 1,475 nautical miles, starting 5 miles south of SJQV Usina Santa Luiza Airport Motuca, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The flight then underwent several enroute climb phases, each with a brief duration of 2 minutes, as it ascended to higher altitudes. The first of these climbs took place 75 miles southwest of SMSM Kwamalasoemoetoe Airport, Distrikt Sipaliwini, Suriname, where the aircraft climbed from 35,527 feet to 37,400 feet, an increase of 1,872 feet. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 67 miles southwest of the same airport and took the aircraft from 36,423 feet to 38,357 feet, an increase of 1,934 feet. The final climb phase occurred at a specific latitude and longitude, where the aircraft climbed from 36,750 feet to 38,357 feet, an increase of 1,934 feet.
Following these climb phases, the aircraft entered several level cruise phases, each with varying durations and distances covered. The first of these cruises lasted 58 minutes and covered 1,747 nautical miles, starting 67 miles southwest of SMSM Kwamalasoemoetoe Airport. The second cruise phase lasted 32 minutes and covered 690 nautical miles, starting at a specific latitude and longitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 36,750 feet above sea level to 1,328 feet, a decrease of 35,422 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The descent started 8 miles east of Barnegat Light, New Jersey, United States. The final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 22L, which had a length of 7,028 feet. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 639 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and there was a 5-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 6,261 feet, which was 89% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.8%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the north-east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 639 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a bit faster than the desired speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -246 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots were able to manage the descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 6,261 feet was 89% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilots may have needed to use more of the runway to bring the aircraft to a stop, possibly due to the faster-than-desired touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline, which may have been a result of the pilots' efforts to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilots were able to bring the Boeing 777-300 safely to the ground, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory given the challenging weather conditions.
