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.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,741 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,741 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 787-10 aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR), taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,796 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of CYVR, where the aircraft ascended from 1,011 feet above sea level to 40,038 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,027 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles northwest of Spout Lake Seaplane Base (CSU6) and lasted for 637 minutes, covering a significant distance of 5,055 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles south of Mantoudi, Greece, where it descended from 41,220 feet above sea level to 1,534 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,686 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 38.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,202 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 211 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 147 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a 1-knot headwind at 360°, with minimal crosswind.
The total landing distance was 1,787 meters, accounting for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.0 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 5,305 nautical miles, taking 701 minutes, and consumed 56,107 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 787-10 aircraft successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 03L. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 38.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 149 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, the threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 211 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight drift during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
The total landing distance of 1,787 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight drift during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with minor deviations from the ideal approach path and landing roll.
