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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,859 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,859 m of the 4,864 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 723 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 1,197 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 8°C and winds of 8 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from 1,423 feet above sea level to 34,336 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,913 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Zapfendorf, Germany, and lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 857 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,997 feet above sea level to 37,437 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,440 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 62 miles east of Obzor, Bulgaria, and lasted for 89 minutes, covering a distance of 708 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 37,545 feet above sea level to 39,391 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,845 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles north of Cukurca, Turkey, and lasted for 80 minutes, covering a distance of 671 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute descent, which started 31 miles northeast of Abu Ali Airport, Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The descent was from 39,208 feet above sea level to 35,734 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,474 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 38 miles east of Abu Ali Airport, Al Jubail, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, which started 20 miles northeast of Al Khawr, Qatar. The descent was from 35,206 feet above sea level to 3,604 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,601 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Musay'id, Qatar, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at Hamad International Airport (OTHH) was from the southeast, heading 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34R at OTHH was successful, with a touchdown point 304 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C and winds of 8 knots at 310°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,775 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at OTHH Hamad International Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.3%. The final approach to runway 34R was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 135 knots, which was within the target range. However, the touchdown point was located 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The threshold height at 72 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline during the landing roll. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the wind conditions or pilot error.
The total landing distance of 1,775 meters was 36% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly off-center during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and centerline alignment. These deviations may be attributed to the wind conditions and pilot error, and could be addressed through further training and practice to improve the aircraft's landing performance.
