Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 949 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,944 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,944 m of the 3,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 949 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 04R with a takeoff distance of 1,458 m (54 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 171 kt. Local weather was 27 °C, wind 4 kt from 060° (crosswind 2 kt, headwind 3 kt).
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,455 fpm and reaching 210 kt at the top of the segment.
Climb continued from 984 ft asl to 30,909 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 108 nm, starting overhead Winthrop.
The aircraft levelled at 31,000 ft asl for 54 minutes, covering 492 nm, beginning 42 miles north-east of EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69.
A further climb from 30,999 ft asl to 32,641 ft asl took 2 minutes over 14 nm, starting at latitude 44.6633866, longitude -57.7581063.
Level flight at 33,000 ft asl lasted 232 minutes, covering 2,144 nm, starting at latitude 44.7223387, longitude -57.4136775.
Climb from 32,999 ft asl to 34,992 ft asl took 3 minutes, covering 29 nm, beginning 87 miles south-west of Guilvinec.
Level flight at 35,000 ft asl continued for 222 minutes, covering 1,905 nm, starting 80 miles south of Guilvinec.
Descent from 34,999 ft asl to 1,499 ft asl was completed in 31 minutes, covering 163 nm.
Final approach to runway 30 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport descended from 1,429 ft agl to 98 ft agl in 91 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,427 ft agl, 190 kt; final flap position 6 at 2,383 ft agl, 164 kt.
Landing was on runway 30, length 3,026 m. Threshold height was good and threshold speed was good at 150 kt. The flare was perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 535 m beyond the touchdown zone at 139 kt, with a rate of -158 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather was 25 °C, wind 1 kt from 360° (crosswind 1 kt, headwind 1 kt). No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 1,866 m (62 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 4,863 nm in 569 minutes and used 77,072 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 30 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 302.0° at 4 nm and 1,363 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 25 °C with wind 1 kt at 0°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was recorded as 150 kt. The aircraft continued the flare in accordance with the stabilised profile.
Touchdown occurred 536 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 139 kt, a vertical rate of minus 160 fpm and runway touchdown alignment described as very good.
The total landing distance was 1,866 m, representing 62 % of the 3,026 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 96.1 % the landing was well executed; refining the touchdown point to reduce the 536 m overshoot will bring the touchdown closer to the intended aim point and further optimise runway usage.
