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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,412 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,412 m of the 3,988 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 27 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) in Mumbai, India. The takeoff distance was 1,279 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 29°C and winds of 4 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Juhu Aerodrome (VAJJ) in Mumbai. The climb took 18 minutes and covered 127 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,065 feet above sea level to 36,221 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,156 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles east of Lasalgaon in the state of Maharashtra, India, and lasted for 113 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 1,034 nautical miles. The cruise altitude was maintained at a steady level, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a consistent speed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles southwest of Shigatse Peace Airport (ZURK) in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The descent took 18 minutes and covered 114 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,071 feet above sea level to 13,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,070 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at Lhasa Gonggar Airport (ZULS) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which has a length of 3,988 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 352 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -570 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C and winds of 1 knot at 166°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total landing distance was 2,347 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 1,285 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 162 minutes. The aircraft used 19,910 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at ZULS Lhasa Gonggar Airport, achieving a high score of 94.9%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 352 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate was also quite hard, at -570 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.5 meters, which may have required the pilots to make some adjustments during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 166°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was zero.
The total landing distance of 2,347 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
