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 1,698 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,698 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 362 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 34L at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar.
As the aircraft took off, it reached a liftoff speed of 184 knots, covering a takeoff distance of 2,647 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The enroute climb started approximately 2 miles northwest of OTHH Hamad International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,026 feet above sea level to 27,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,980 feet, in just 15 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Al Hadd in Bahrain and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 17 miles northeast of OERT Ras Tanura Airport in Saudi Arabia, where the aircraft climbed from 27,675 feet to 32,991 feet, an increase of 5,316 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles northeast of OEAA Abu Ali Airport in Saudi Arabia and lasted for 183 minutes, covering a distance of 1,303 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 76 miles north of Agva in Turkey, where the aircraft climbed from 32,273 feet to 33,609 feet, an increase of 1,335 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 77 miles north of Sile in Turkey and lasted for 82 minutes, covering a distance of 589 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 1 mile west of Zirc in Hungary, where the aircraft climbed from 33,396 feet to 34,801 feet, an increase of 1,405 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of LHPA Pápa Air Base in Hungary and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 636 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 24 miles northwest of Middelkerke in Belgium, where the aircraft descended from 34,664 feet to 6,614 feet, a decrease of 28,050 feet, in just 16 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead EGSG Stapleford Aerodrome in England and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, which started overhead EGRP Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit in England, where the aircraft descended from 6,375 feet to 4,695 feet, a decrease of 1,680 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Hadley Wood in England and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 156 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 364 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilots' alignment with the runway. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 5 knots, while the headwind component was moderate at 14 knots. The total landing distance of 1,619 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
