Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 76 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 76 ft, 31 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,154 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,154 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 918 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 280°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 37,003 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 110 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 36,030 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 32 miles east of La Caletta in Sardegna, Italy, and lasted for 70 minutes, covering a distance of 536 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile west of Calles in Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, and took the aircraft down from a height of 37,001 feet to 3,193 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,808 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 322.0°, and the aircraft touched down 4 nautical miles from the threshold, at an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32R was successful, with a touchdown point 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -247 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 330°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 781 nautical miles, and the flight took 125 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 14,311 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport on runway 32R. The final approach was executed from the southeast, heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 146 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The touchdown point was located 98 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. 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 characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 2,078 meters was 69% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
