Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,653 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,653 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,090 ft 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,948 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92°F and winds of 11 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was also 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,101 feet above sea level to 37,610 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,510 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Austin, Texas, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 399 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 37,600 feet to 39,519 feet, an increase of 1,919 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of 402 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 18 miles northeast of Seligman, Arizona, and descending from 38,993 feet to 3,276 feet, a decrease of 35,717 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, heading 272.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,133 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26L was successful, with a touchdown point 738 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -196 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and winds of 6 knots at 169°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 5,401 feet, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,069 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 166 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 42,518 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 26L was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,133 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 738 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 169°. Although there was a slight crosswind component of 6 knots, the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,401 feet was 51% of the available runway length of 10,506 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
