Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,840 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 127 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.40 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, the Boeing 777F began its journey with a taxiing period of 14 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 06, utilizing 66% of the 2,635-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 187 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 69°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed over Senningen, Luxembourg, and continued to ascend to 9,459 meters above sea level, an increase of 8,805.8 meters in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began over Genk Zwartberg Airfield in Belgium, lasting 144 minutes and covering 1,768 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several climb and level cruise phases, with notable increases in altitude and decreases in time, before initiating its descent over Sale Creek, Tennessee. The final approach to runway 18R at Huntsville International Carl T Jones Field was made from the north, with a heading of 181.0° at 4 nautical miles and 383.6 meters above ground level.
The Boeing 777F landed on runway 18R, with a touchdown distance of 123 meters and a speed of 149 knots. The touchdown rate was slightly heavy at -6.2 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,007 meters, accounting for 26% of the 3,847-meter runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 8 minutes. The total flight distance was 4,088 nautical miles, completed in 254 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 66,585 kilograms.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 18R at KHSV Huntsville International Carl T Jones Field, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The aircraft maintained a good touchdown distance of 123 m, and the touchdown speed of 149 kt was also within acceptable limits.
Despite the good touchdown characteristics, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -6.2 m/s, suggesting a possible over-rotation or a failure to flare effectively. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.6 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a headwind of 11 kt, were not particularly challenging, but the crosswind was negligible.
The total landing distance of 1,007 m was 26% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 m from the centreline, indicating a possible deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 83.6%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and touchdown characteristics, the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability throughout the landing phase.
