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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,706 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,706 m of the 2,610 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 777-200ER then departed from runway 10 at HRYR Kigali International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,075 meters, which was 33% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 159 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of HRYR Kigali International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 5,926 feet above sea level to 38,757 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,831 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 39 miles northwest of Sake, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and lasted for 76 minutes, covering a distance of 616 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 16 miles north of Bosobolo, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and descended from an altitude of 38,074 feet above sea level to 2,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,595 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at FEFF Bangui M'Poko International Airport was made from the south, heading 345.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level, and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 2,610 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 0 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,630 meters, which was 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 815 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 120 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,676 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at FEFF Bangui M'Poko International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 0°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,630 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to stop safely. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path down the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft executing a smooth and controlled touchdown and rollout.
