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 1,895 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,895 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 714 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 04L at Newark Liberty International Airport, KEWR. The takeoff distance was 628 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 188 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Newark, New Jersey, and the aircraft climbed from 949 feet above sea level to 31,809 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,860 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead the CT10 Flat Rock Farm Heliport in Sterling, Connecticut, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 32,315 feet above sea level to 34,328 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,012 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 37 miles north east of the EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69 in Massachusetts and lasted for 59 minutes, covering a distance of 2,164 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,705 feet above sea level to 35,696 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,991 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at a location with a latitude of 50.0147907 and a longitude of -15.8253193 and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 1,689 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles south west of Palairos in Western Greece, and descended from 36,381 feet above sea level to 3,831 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,551 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of Vouliagmeni in Attica, Greece, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles south east of Vari in Attica, Greece, and descended from 3,230 feet above sea level to 1,513 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,717 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, LGAV, was made from the south west, heading 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,225 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03R, which had a length of 3,403 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 50°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach to runway 03R was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 kt. The touchdown point was located 305 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 144 kt was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 15 kt at a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 15 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,821 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied effectively to bring the plane to a stop. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
