Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.2 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 1.6° against the runway's 3.3° and speed 16 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,563 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,563 m of the 2,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dubai International Airport (OMDB), the Boeing 777-300 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 30R, covering 2,140 meters or 53% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 188 knots, with a local temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. Following a smooth departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,053 feet above sea level to 30,362 feet, a gain of 29,309 feet in 21 minutes, while covering 142 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, navigating through various geographical locations, including the Gulf of Oman, Panjgur Airport in Pakistan, and the Kyrgyzstan-Kazakhstan border. The aircraft's climb rates and altitudes varied, with the most significant increase of 2,876 feet in just 3 minutes, achieved while climbing from 31,602 feet to 34,478 feet. The flight's level cruise phases covered extensive distances, with the longest lasting 364 minutes and spanning 2,972 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, gradually reducing altitude and speed before initiating its final approach to runway 34L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA).
The Boeing 777-300 landed smoothly on runway 34L, with a touchdown distance of 424 meters and a speed of 137 knots. Although the touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold, the aircraft's touchdown rate was firm at -309 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good. Following a 10-minute taxi to the parking area, the flight came to an end, having covered a total distance of 7,210 nautical miles and consuming 125,504 kilograms of fuel in 906 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 34L at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 137 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly above the recommended range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -309 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 424 m was within the acceptable range, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline. This deviation was likely due to the crosswind component of 4 kt, which was partially offset by the 11 kt headwind. The total landing distance of 1,481 m, accounting for 57% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the prevailing wind conditions.
The rollout phase was notable for its excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. This achievement was a testament to the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed and directional control during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 97.7% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal performance.
