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 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,059 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,059 m of the 3,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 813 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Boeing 777-300 took off from runway 09 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a departure roll that covered 1,711 meters, representing 51% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at 189 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 59°.
As the plane flew en route, it began its initial climb approximately one mile northwest of Amstelveen, rising from 901 feet above sea level to 30,337 feet in just 18 minutes while covering 120 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise state 16 miles east of Walton-on-the-Naze in England, maintaining altitude for 189 minutes and covering an extensive 1,520 nautical miles.
The aircraft then experienced a series of climbs and level cruises. A rapid climb from 30,274 feet to 31,726 feet in two minutes occurred 59 miles southeast of the Santa Cruz das Flores airport in the Azores, Portugal. Another climb from 32,045 feet to 33,942 feet took place 2 minutes later near the same latitude, while a subsequent climb from 34,277 feet to 36,087 feet happened only 2 minutes later near the SNAI Alto Parnaíba Airport in Brazil. Each climb was short-lived, lasting just two minutes each, as the aircraft soon settled into new level cruise states.
Throughout its journey, the flight experienced a mix of level cruising and shorter climbs before it finally entered a descent phase. Beginning approximately 11 miles north of Palmitas in Uruguay, the plane descended from 36,350 feet to 1,336 feet above sea level in 23 minutes, covering 98 nautical miles.
As the flight concluded its journey at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 11 from the west, aligning perfectly with a heading of 102° at 4 nautical miles. At an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level, the aircraft landed on the 3,288-meter-long runway, with a touchdown point 418 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
Landing took place at a speed of 143 knots, a little faster than the recommended threshold speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect. With local weather conditions consisting of 18°C temperature and 4 knots of wind, the flight concluded its landing, with a total landing distance of 1,999 meters.
Following the landing, the aircraft took only three minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering less than one nautical mile. Throughout the entire journey, the Boeing 777-300 utilized a total of 113,976 kilograms of fuel and traveled an impressive 6,408 nautical miles, all in just 819 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully completed its landing at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport's runway 11 from a final approach heading of 102.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway at 143 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed of 149 knots, but still a relatively high margin for safety.
The touchdown point was 418 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this slight deviation was not significant enough to indicate any issues with the approach or landing. The aircraft demonstrated a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the descent.
The local weather at the time of the landing was favorable, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, blowing from a direction that was not critical for the approach or landing. The crosswind component was entirely negligible, at 0 knots.
In terms of the overall performance metrics, the aircraft achieved a high score of 92.2%. This is likely due to the exceptional smoothness and control of the landing, as well as the precision of the runway touchdown alignment. The roll-out alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had the aircraft under complete control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,999 meters was relatively short, considering the runway length of 3,288 meters, which accounted for less than 61% of the available runway. This highlights the effective performance of the aircraft during the landing, particularly the smooth touchdown rate and the precise control during the roll-out. Overall, the Boeing 777-300 performed well during the landing, demonstrating the proficiency of the pilot and the capability of the aircraft.
