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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,796 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,796 m of the 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 796 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 777F aircraft, departing from Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 25R. The takeoff roll took 2,237 meters, which is 66% of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 190 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 20 degrees.
After departing from KLAX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 916 feet above sea level to 29,954 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise then began 34 miles southwest of San Nicolas Island Nolf Airport (KNSI), lasting 171 minutes and covering 1,293 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of 20.0853253 and longitude of -139.4462377, ascending from 30,000 feet above sea level to 32,018 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes. The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting at a latitude of 19.886706 and longitude of -139.5731633, lasting 204 minutes and covering 1,563 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, beginning another enroute climb from a latitude of -2.6822846 and longitude of -152.8408404, ascending from 31,998 feet above sea level to 33,749 feet above sea level in 2 minutes. The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting at a latitude of -2.8997008 and longitude of -152.9496704, lasting 322 minutes and covering 2,593 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 65 miles northeast of Okiwi Station Airport (NZOX) in Auckland, New Zealand. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,000 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 251.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 380 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,715 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,706 nautical miles, taking 752 minutes, and the aircraft used 109,750 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Auckland International Airport, with a final approach score of 91.4%. The aircraft was approaching runway 23L from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,332 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 143 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 380 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a headwind of 8 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,715 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
