Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 87 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 87 ft, 42 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 287 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,736 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at LIPR Federico Fellini International Airport; the movement required 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31, the Boeing 777-300ER accelerated through a takeoff distance of 751 m, which is 28 % of the runway length, and rotated at 142 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 18 °C, wind 3 kt from 359°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead LIPR, with the aircraft climbing from 941 ft asl to 33 972 ft asl, an increase of 33 032 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 59 nm.
Cruise began 29 miles south-west of Rovinj, Istria, and persisted for 17 minutes, during which 113 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 2 miles south of Krnica, Obcina Luce, with the aircraft descending from 33 943 ft asl to 2 605 ft asl, a loss of 31 338 ft in 18 minutes and covering 89 nm.
The final approach to runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport involved a descent from 1 555 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 103 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 16C, which is 2 736 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 139 kt. Touchdown occurred 275 m down the runway at 137 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 288 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather at the time was 4 °C, wind 1 kt from 170°, with no crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1 434 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 268 nm, lasted 54 minutes, and consumed 6 828 kg of fuel.
