Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 53 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 53 ft, 8.4 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 1,721 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,721 m of the 3,206 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 762 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 777F aircraft, departing from Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 25R. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Upon departure, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 191 knots, with a takeoff distance of 2,140 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,039 feet above sea level to 29,897 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,858 feet, in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles southeast of the CA64 Olive View Medical Center Heliport in Sylmar, California, and lasted for 164 minutes, covering a distance of 1,338 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable climbs occurring at specific latitudes and longitudes, including a climb from 30,041 feet to 31,567 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, and another climb from 32,004 feet to 33,911 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed after each climb, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed. The final enroute level cruise phase lasted for 342 minutes, covering a distance of 2,399 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 35 miles east of RKTH Pohang Airport in South Korea, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,021 feet above sea level to 1,299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,721 feet, in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36L at RKPK Gimhae International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 354.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 36L was successful, with the touchdown point located 346 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was -185 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,640 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout.
The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,243 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 719 minutes and a fuel consumption of 103,175 kilograms.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at RKPK Gimhae International Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.6%. The final approach to runway 36L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 354.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 144 knots, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 98 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's descent. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The touchdown point was located 346 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,640 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations in the threshold height and touchdown point distance.
