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 1,704 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,704 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 658 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 07L, with a takeoff distance of 895 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 359 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from Anchorage, the enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Lake Hood Anchorage, where the aircraft climbed from 1,135 feet above sea level to 38,365 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,230 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles west of Johnstone Point Airport, Hinchinbrook, and lasted for 122 minutes, covering a distance of 954 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles south west of Quatam River, British Columbia, Canada, descending from 38,733 feet above sea level to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,446 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at Vancouver International Airport was made from the east, heading 280.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 3,284 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -164 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at Vancouver International Airport were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 206 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,625 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,162 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 170 minutes. The aircraft used 18,020 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 26L, achieving a score of 95.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 206°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,625 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft's landing performance was efficient and that the pilots were able to control the aircraft's descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft's landing performance at Vancouver International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 95.7%. The pilots demonstrated good control and attention to detail, and the aircraft's systems performed as expected.
