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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,822 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,822 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 737 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), with a takeoff distance of 1,564 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed over Rosedale, New York, and began its ascent from 1,016 feet above sea level to 33,704 feet, a vertical increase of 32,688 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued with multiple segments, each involving a change in altitude and a corresponding change in location. The aircraft climbed from 33,964 feet to 36,007 feet in 3 minutes and 31 nautical miles, and then leveled off for a short period before resuming its ascent. The aircraft climbed from 35,400 feet to 37,418 feet in 3 minutes and 33 nautical miles, and then leveled off again. This pattern of climbing and leveling off continued until the aircraft reached its final cruising altitude.
The enroute level cruise segments were characterized by long periods of steady altitude and speed, with the aircraft covering significant distances in a relatively short period of time. The longest level cruise segment lasted 196 minutes and covered a distance of 1,646 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced a series of short level cruise segments, each lasting only a few minutes and covering a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, passing over various locations, including Kish Island, Iran, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The descent from 40,766 feet to 4,226 feet took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period before resuming its descent, eventually landing on runway 12R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB).
The final approach to runway 12R was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 121.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a touchdown point that was 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 119 knots and a touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.
The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,994 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 731 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 86,383 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) on runway 12R. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good approach speed, touching down at 119 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed and rate of descent were also found to be satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process. The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, but this did not seem to affect the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance of the aircraft.
The touchdown point was located 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft at Dubai International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 87.4%. The aircraft's speed, rate of descent, and alignment with the runway during the landing and rollout phases were all within acceptable limits.
