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.
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 1,602 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,602 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 680 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 1,648 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots at 170 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,279 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,997 feet asl, an increase of 33,718 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 163 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 19 miles south of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 114 minutes, covering a distance of 998 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 34,997 feet asl to 36,427 feet asl, an increase of 1,430 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 82 miles north of Nueltin Lake Airport, Manitoba, Canada, and lasted for 178 minutes, covering a distance of 1,446 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its enroute climb from 36,999 feet asl to 38,858 feet asl, an increase of 1,858 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and lasted for 224 minutes, covering a distance of 1,779 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from 38,992 feet asl to 6,803 feet asl, a decrease of 32,188 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south east of Birstein, Germany, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 4,951 feet asl to 1,693 feet asl, a decrease of 3,258 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was from the east, heading 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,343 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 25R was successful, with the touchdown point being 263 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 0 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,521 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 4,636 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 600 minutes. The aircraft used 65,537 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots.
The touchdown point was located 263 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 4°C and a negligible wind speed of 1 knot from the north. This minimal wind had no significant impact on the aircraft's approach or landing. The total landing distance of 1,521 meters was 54% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and ensured a stable and safe deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of this landing, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
