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.

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 1,905 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,905 m of the 3,015 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 599 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,026 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 8 knots at 200 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north-east of Aalsmeerderbrug, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The climb from 1,043 feet above sea level to 35,142 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,099 feet, took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Eth in the Hauts-de-France region of France. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time starting overhead the town of Essigny-le-Petit in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The climb from 35,164 feet above sea level to 37,187 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,023 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Nampcel in the Hauts-de-France region of France. This phase lasted for 94 minutes and covered a distance of 642 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 5 miles north-east of the town of Vitigudino in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. The climb from 37,745 feet above sea level to 39,053 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,308 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south-west of the town of Yecla de Yeltes in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. This phase lasted for 120 minutes and covered a distance of 929 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 2 miles south of the town of Vallehermosa in the Canary Islands, Spain. The climb from 39,094 feet above sea level to 40,047 feet above sea level, an increase of 952 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 12 miles south-west of the town of Alajero in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted for 85 minutes and covered a distance of 691 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 82 miles north-east of the town of Pombas in the Concelho do Paul region of Cape Verde. The descent from 39,952 feet above sea level to 1,482 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,470 feet, took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 360 degrees and at an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 01 at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport, which had a length of 3,015 meters. The threshold height at 75 feet above ground level
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 3,015 meters. The threshold height at 75 feet agl was found to be well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. The threshold speed was also good, at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, the touchdown point was 186 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the deviation. The touchdown rate was firm, at -362 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,827 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a good score of 89.1%. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing path, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
