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 1,692 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,692 m of the 3,160 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 782 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at OMFJ Fujairah International Airport. The Boeing 777F aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,476 meters, which was 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 178 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 109 degrees, resulting in a 5-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Fujairah, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 36 minutes to reach a height of 36,065 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,862 feet from the initial altitude of 1,203 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 223 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 35 miles east of OEAD Aradah in Saudi Arabia and lasted for 294 minutes, covering a distance of 1,850 nautical miles. This phase was followed by an enroute descent, which started 26 miles east of HTPE Pemba Airport in Tanzania. The descent took 16 minutes to reduce the altitude from 35,936 feet to 2,292 feet, a decrease of 33,644 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase was restarted 7 miles south of HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport in Tanzania and lasted for only 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 05, which had a length of 3,160 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 153 knots. The touchdown point was 373 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots and a touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 50 degrees, resulting in a 5-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,618 meters, which was 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,201 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 293 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 38,546 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 153 knots. The touchdown point was located 373 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was also satisfactory.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, which is a minor issue. However, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 50°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,618 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing process.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
