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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 201 m touchdown sits inside 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 30L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB), Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The takeoff distance was 2,251 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 186 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the OMDB airport and ascending from 1,030 feet above sea level to 33,880 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,850 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 55 miles north of Das Island Airport (OMAS), Das Island, United Arab Emirates, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 263 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 28 miles northeast of Aramco Ras Khafji Airport (OE45), Khafji, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. The climb took the aircraft from 33,921 feet above sea level to 35,952 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,030 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 8 miles east of the Kuwait Moving Carrier - CVN69 (EM06), Al Asimah Governorate, Kuwait, and lasted for 299 minutes, covering a distance of 2,146 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 25 miles east of Loftahammar, Kalmar, Sweden, and descending from 33,304 feet above sea level to 2,932 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,372 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 2 miles south of Rimbo, Stockholm County, Sweden, and lasted for just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26 at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ESSA), heading 256.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 142 knots and a touchdown distance of 202 meters. The touchdown rate was very hard at -553 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,048 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,726 nautical miles, taking a total of 405 minutes, and the aircraft used 53,516 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 26 was executed from the east, with a heading of 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 143 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the approach. The touchdown distance of 202 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilot had made a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the touchdown rate of -553 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, which may indicate that the pilot had not fully utilized the aircraft's reverse thrust or had not applied the brakes effectively. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and alignment throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which would have helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,048 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the landing roll.
Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft's landing at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. However, the very hard touchdown rate may indicate that the pilot could benefit from additional training or practice to improve their landing skills.
