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 1,619 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,619 m of the 3,450 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 676 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The journey of 1 nautical mile took approximately 5 minutes, setting the stage for a long haul flight.
As the aircraft reached the runway, it took off from runway 19L with a takeoff distance of 1,738 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. Liftoff speed was recorded at 159 knots. During the departure, the local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 29°C, wind speed of 6 knots from 131°, and crosswind of 6 knots and headwind of 3 knots.
En route, the aircraft climbed to a height of 38,516 feet above sea level, increasing by 37,495 feet in 27 minutes and covering 184 nautical miles. This was the first phase of the climb, which started 2 miles south of the Suvarnabhumi Airport.
After completing the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 171 minutes and covered 1,402 nautical miles. The cruising altitude of 38,516 feet remained constant during this phase.
Further en route, the aircraft experienced another climb, this time from 38,466 feet to 39,999 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 143 minutes and covered 1,165 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent towards YDWU Dalwallinu Airport Wongan Hills in Western Australia, reducing its altitude by 34,295 feet in 18 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles. The second to last phase of the flight involved another level cruise, lasting for 102 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Ultimately, the aircraft's descent continued, reducing its altitude by 3,545 feet in 8 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. This phase brought the aircraft to a point 3 miles east of Lower Chittering in Western Australia.
The aircraft then proceeded to the final approach phase, heading towards runway 21 at YPPH Perth International Airport from the north. The local weather conditions during this phase were marked by a temperature of 20°C, wind speed of 8 knots from 219°, crosswind of 4 knots and headwind of 7 knots.
The runway touchdown was smooth, with the threshold height being good, and the touch speed also satisfying the requirements at 138 knots. The touch-down point was located 257 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touch-down speed was recorded at 126 knots, which was within the limits. However, the touch-down rate was slightly low at a rate of -227 feet per minute.
The total landing distance of 1,535 meters accounted for 44% of the runway length. Runway rollout alignment was perfect, ensuring a smooth and safe transition from the landing phase to taxiing. The total taxiing time from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In conclusion, the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully completed the long-haul flight to YPPH Perth International Airport. The total flight distance was an impressive 2,902 nautical miles, which was accomplished in 382 minutes and necessitated the consumption of 41,442 kilograms of fuel.
A Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Perth International Airport's runway 21 from the north. The aircraft touched down 257 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but overall, the landing was considered good.
The final approach was carried out at an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (AGL) at a distance of 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The aircraft's heading at the time was 194.0 degrees, indicating a precise approach to the target runway. The pilot's control over the aircraft's speed during final approach also paid off, as the threshold speed of 138 knots was maintained, ensuring a stable descent towards the landing site.
The runway's dimensions proved adequate for the aircraft's size, with a runway length of 3,450 meters. The threshold height was also noted to be acceptable, implying a well-executed approach. Following touchdown, the aircraft decelerated to a relatively low speed of 126 knots, which was considered within the safe range. However, the aircraft's descent rate of -227 feet per minute could be improved upon, making it 'fair' in terms of landing performance.
The crosswind, at 4 knots, was relatively light, while the headwind, at 7 knots, helped improve the aircraft's overall performance. Despite some room for improvement, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment and perfect rollout alignment, demonstrating excellent directional control.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,535 meters, accounting for 44% of the overall runway length. Given the aircraft's size and weight, this distance suggests efficient deceleration and control from the pilot.
