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 1,933 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,933 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,546 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 90°, and a crosswind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north-east of Frankfurt Airport, rising from 1,402 feet above sea level to 31,349 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,946 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles east of Mistelgau, Germany, and lasted for 162 minutes, covering a distance of 1,306 nautical miles.
The aircraft then underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable climbs occurring 34 miles north-west of Arhavi, Turkey, 18 miles north of Sayaq, Kazakhstan, and 14 miles south-east of Hangu, China. Each of these climbs was brief, lasting only 3 minutes, and resulted in a significant increase in altitude. The level cruises that followed each of these climbs lasted for varying periods, ranging from 183 minutes to 219 minutes, and covered distances of up to 1,801 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Iwata, Japan, descending from 36,893 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,588 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at Tokyo Haneda International Airport (RJTT) was made from the south-east, with a heading of 330.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34R was successful, with a touchdown point 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, a wind speed of 0 knots at 360°, and a crosswind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,850 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,926 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 752 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 101,596 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport on runway 34R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a threshold height that was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 147 knots, registering at 142 knots. This resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute, which was still considered fair. However, the touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft could have been aligned slightly better with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 1,850 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills in controlling the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 97.0%. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through the challenging approach and landing phase was impressive, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
