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 1,909 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,909 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 698 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,749 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 79 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,128 feet above sea level to 29,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,862 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 129 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 87 miles north of Yonakuni, Okinawa, Japan, and lasted for 136 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,357 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 29,870 feet above sea level to 32,866 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,995 feet, in just 3 minutes. The distance covered during this climb was 36 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting at a latitude of 31.8072344 and a longitude of 149.2480607. This cruise lasted for 205 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,848 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 32,236 feet above sea level to 33,625 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,390 feet, in just 2 minutes. The distance covered during this climb was 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed again, starting at a latitude of 46.108922 and a longitude of -174.8001942. This cruise lasted for 198 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,771 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,053 feet above sea level to 36,977 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,924 feet, in just 2 minutes. The distance covered during this climb was 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed once more, starting at a latitude of 44.6605281 and a longitude of -131.8909212. This cruise lasted for 69 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 482 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles southwest of Mendocino, California, United States. The descent took 30 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,757 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,441 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 124 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 298.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28R, which had a length of 3,516 meters, was characterized by a threshold height that was above target and a threshold speed that was slightly above target at 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 147 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -519 feet per minute. The runway touchdown
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 89.2%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target at 64 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 147 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. The touchdown rate was very hard at -519 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern as it may have caused a jarring impact on the aircraft.
Despite the hard touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 291°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,829 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for aircraft of this size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 aircraft at KSFO was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the target performance. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed are areas that require attention to ensure a smoother and more controlled landing.
