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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,486 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,486 m of the 4,864 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,030 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 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 05 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 187 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 120°, and a crosswind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,564 feet above sea level to 29,528 feet, an increase of 27,965 feet in just 18 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north of the Belleville Aerodrome and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several enroute climb and level cruise phases, each with its own unique characteristics. The aircraft climbed from 29,726 feet to 31,287 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. It then entered a level cruise phase that lasted for 331 minutes, covering a distance of 3,037 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, passing through various points in Canada, Belgium, and Turkey, before entering a descent phase.
The descent phase began 18 miles north-east of Al Khawr in Qatar, where the aircraft descended from 40,002 feet to 3,388 feet in just 26 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 5 miles south-east of Al Wakrah, where the aircraft descended from 2,579 feet to 1,314 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34R at Hamad International Airport, flying from the south-east at a heading of 338.0° and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 4,864 meters, and the threshold height was well above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 580 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 151 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate was good at -176 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 330°, and a crosswind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,371 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 6,221 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 741 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 90,435 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OTHH Hamad International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 34R was initiated from the south east, heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 580 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have misjudged the distance to the runway.
The touchdown speed of 151 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the aircraft's distance from the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or a navigation issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a headwind of 17 knots. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, which reduced the impact of the wind on the aircraft's landing. The total landing distance of 2,371 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centerline, which could indicate a continued issue with the pilot's navigation or a problem with the aircraft's systems. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some issues that need to be addressed to improve the pilot's performance and the aircraft's systems.
