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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,923 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,923 m of the 3,596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 670 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 465 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Vijfhuizen, a town in the province of Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The climb took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 993 feet above sea level to 34,484 feet, an increase of 33,491 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Enger, a town in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 198 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,882 feet to 36,374 feet, an increase of 1,492 feet, over a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Liebstadt, a town in the state of Saxony, Germany. This phase lasted for 196 minutes and covered a distance of 1,587 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,934 feet to 39,102 feet, an increase of 1,167 feet, over a distance of 13 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Miandoab, a city in the province of West Azerbaijan, Iran. This phase lasted for 89 minutes and covered a distance of 735 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 20 miles west of OIBK Kish International Airport, Kish Island, Iran. The descent took 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,209 feet to 3,691 feet, a decrease of 36,518 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 15 miles northwest of SB18 Dubai The World, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles north of SB18 Dubai The World. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 3,186 feet to 1,296 feet, a decrease of 1,889 feet.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12L at OMDB Dubai International Airport, coming in from the northwest at a heading of 121.0 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 12L, which had a length of 3,596 meters. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,836 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) on runway 12L. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 121.0° at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a good threshold height and speed of 136 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 248 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 126 knots. The touchdown rate was also satisfactory at -195 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.9 meters off-centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,836 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was particularly noteworthy, as it was very good. This indicates that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
