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 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,336 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 3,506 feet above sea level to 35,955 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,449 feet in 17 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil, and lasted for 270 minutes, covering a distance of 2,166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 8 miles south east of San Carlos de Guaroa, Departamento del Meta, Colombia. The descent from 35,983 feet above sea level to 9,468 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,515 feet in 16 minutes, covered a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport was made from the south east, heading 132.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,114 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 3,121 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 32R, which had a length of 3,798 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 132 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 433 meters, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -452 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 350 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,363 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 327 minutes. The aircraft used 40,455 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SKBO El Dorado International Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 32R was conducted from the southeast, heading 132.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,114 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 132 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 433 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -452 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown, but it did not compromise the safety of the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 350°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 1,569 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and technique throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
