Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,832 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,832 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 636 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), with a takeoff distance of 1,953 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 200 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KLAX, it encountered a local weather condition of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KLAX, where the aircraft climbed from 1,154 feet above sea level to 29,429 feet, an increase of 28,275 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northeast of the Holiday Ranch Airport in Apple Valley, California, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 236 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 29,673 feet to 31,045 feet, an increase of 1,372 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued for a significant portion of the flight, starting 10 miles north of Springdale, Utah, and lasting for 236 minutes, covering a distance of 2,152 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 30,668 feet to 32,637 feet, an increase of 1,969 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting 52 miles east of Wabush Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and lasting for 76 minutes, covering a distance of 742 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 32,393 feet to 33,291 feet, an increase of 898 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting at a location with coordinates 57.64253° N and 44.6245217° W, and lasting for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 943 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 32,704 feet to 33,751 feet, an increase of 1,048 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting at a location with coordinates 56.0597344° N and 15.2663118° W, and lasting for 135 minutes, covering a distance of 1,120 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south of Selvino, Italy, and descending from 35,425 feet to 9,135 feet, a decrease of 26,290 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting overhead Conselve, Italy, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Stanghella, Italy, and descending from 9,131 feet to 1,121 feet, a decrease of 8,011 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Venice Marco Polo Airport (LIPZ) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,107 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, with a final approach score of 89.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,107 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 04R, which has a length of 3,312 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 144 knots. The touchdown point was located 221 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -346 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 29°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,752 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
