Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
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 1,992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,992 m of the 2,822 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 730 m 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 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a takeoff distance of 1,629 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.
As the aircraft lifted off, it reached a liftoff speed of 182 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots.
The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,039 feet above sea level to 29,019 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,980 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 75 miles north of PHLU Kalaupapa Airport in Kalaupapa, Hawaii. This phase lasted for 72 minutes and covered a distance of 620 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various points along the route, with notable climbs taking place at specific latitudes and longitudes.
One of the notable climbs occurred at a latitude of 30.1196554 and a longitude of -149.0050303, where the aircraft climbed from 29,755 feet above sea level to 31,062 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,308 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft also experienced a significant climb at a latitude of 45.9647068 and a longitude of -130.0643065, where it climbed from 31,078 feet above sea level to 32,463 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,385 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final climb took place approximately 101 miles southeast of CYXN Whale Cove Airport in Whale Cove, Nunavut, Canada, where the aircraft climbed from 32,620 feet above sea level to 34,620 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,000 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 61.0285852 and a longitude of -89.155116, and lasted for 285 minutes, covering a distance of 2,327 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, which started approximately 10 miles northeast of Sea Palling in Norfolk, England. The descent took place from an altitude of 36,992 feet above sea level to 5,036 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,956 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol took place from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 36R, which had a length of 2,822 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 148 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach to runway 36R was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 148 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was located 326 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,923 meters was 68% of the available 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 aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
