Improve the landing
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,130 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,130 m of the 2,588 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 749 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 26 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26, the Boeing 777-300 used a takeoff distance of 1,250 m, which is 36 % of the runway, and lifted off at 152 kt; ambient temperature was 18 °C with wind 4 kt from 290°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead the departure airport, climbing from 1,084 ft asl to 26,908 ft asl - an increase of 25,824 ft - in 8 minutes while covering 50 nm.
Cruise began 18 miles southeast of Vuosaari, Finland, and lasted 7 minutes, during which 56 nm were flown.
Descent started 4 miles northeast of Nastola, Finland, descending from 27,001 ft asl to 1,730 ft asl - a loss of 25,271 ft - in 16 minutes and covering 87 nm.
The final approach to runway 30 at EFJY Jyväskylä Airport was executed from the southeast on a heading of 314.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,289 ft agl.
Landing on runway 30 was achieved with a threshold height of 67 ft agl, a threshold speed of 144 kt, and a touchdown point 338 m beyond the touchdown zone; touchdown speed was 140 kt and the vertical speed was minus 203 fpm, with perfect alignment; local weather reported 12 °C, wind 2 kt from 249°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 2,055 m, representing 79 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, completing the landing roll within the measured distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 202 nm, lasted 43 minutes, and consumed 5,467 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 30 at EFJY Jyväskylä Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 314.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 12 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 249°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind.
During the flare the threshold height was recorded at 67 ft agl, which was above the target, while the threshold speed of 144 kt was judged good. The aircraft crossed the runway threshold and continued to the touchdown zone, reaching a point 338 m beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 140 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 203 fpm, described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, the total landing distance measured 2,055 m, representing 79 % of the 2,588 m runway, and the aircraft remained on centreline throughout the roll.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect to the end of the roll.
Maintain the planned flare height to keep the threshold height on target and manage speed to achieve the intended touchdown speed, aiming for the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point to optimise landing distance.
