Flight Score
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 5,821 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,821 ft of the 8,405 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,133 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft, departing from OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 34R, covering a takeoff distance of 6,945 feet, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 190 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 89°F, a wind speed of 2 knots at 350°, and a crosswind of 0 knots with a headwind of 2 knots.
After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching an altitude of 29,849 feet above sea level (asl) in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 25 miles southeast of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 273 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 28 miles west of Duba, Saudi Arabia, and reached an altitude of 31,915 feet asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, which started 19 miles southeast of HESR Sharm el-Sheikh Airport in Egypt and lasted for 165 minutes, covering a distance of 1,276 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, undergoing several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable climbs occurring at various points, including 1 mile west of Zagvozd, Croatia, and 1 mile north west of Pittsville, Maryland, United States. The level cruises covered significant distances, including 1,287 nautical miles and 1,319 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 48 miles east of Hutchinson Island South in Florida, United States, and descending from 40,182 feet asl to 1,286 feet asl in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 119.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 799 feet beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 136 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 5,587 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 6,601 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 906 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 263,943 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 97.2%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 119.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 8,405 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 799 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal but still within a safe margin.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 143°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,587 feet was 66% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
